"When
I first was studying clown in London, there was a student from Spain called
Marta. When we all arrived at class she was by herself and very quiet and it
soon turned out that she spoke almost no English. This meant that each time
she got up to do an exercise she only had a very precarious grasp on what
she was meant to do, and no way in which to communicate her intentions other
than through her actions.In the words of my teacher she was 'always in the shit', which is a good thing for someone learning clown, by the way.
At any rate, to watch Marta do an exercise was a celebration of abandonment, imagination and impulse, she didn't know what she was supposed to do, we didn't know what she was doing and because of that the possibilities were endless.
She could only respond from the heart and her sense of play to the chaos that she was always in, up on stage. Her presence was electric because she was sharing her humanity and having fun.
Furthermore, to get up on stage with Marta and do an exercise was to abandon all hope of rationality and linear narrative, you simply entered the lunacy and learned to fly to wherever the spirit was blowing. I learned so much from watching and participating in her chaos."
Angels can Fly includes a mix of fiction which follows the adventures of ten clown characters, some personal clown anecdotes from clowns from around the world, a total of 50 practical clown exercises, and some theory on the nature of modern clown. The book is available on order through bookshops and online stores in New Zealand, Australia, America and England. Order your copy today.

"Clown is a fascinating, diverse, complex and exciting art form, which has existed around the planet for thousands of years. Like any art form it has to evolve to stay relevant to the culture nurturing it, and at the same time, and by its very nature, clown teases and turns upside down the cultural patterns and boundaries around us."
Clown
Masterclass (3 day) Tuesday May 2 to Thursday 4. Earlybird: $325
(by Apr 3), $400 (full)
Each day of the masterclass starts with a yoga warm up, which is followed by
exercises to develop physical and emotional expression, and improvisational
exercises to develop comic timing and audience rapport. This Masterclass
program has been created to provide an advanced platform for the development
and practice of clown skills. Some students with no experience will also
find this course suitable, simply by releasing themselves to the process.
For the past two years Playspace director Alan Clay has been teaching clown
masterclasses: in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, Australia; in Gisborne,
New Zealand; Ottawa and Vancouver, Canada; and in Connecticut, USA. Alan has
also taught clown at CircoArts in New Zealand, and at MotionFest in USA.
One Week Clown Intensive, September 11
to 15. (5 day) Price Buster $400 (by June 1st), Earlybird $500 (by August
11th) Aus$600 (full)
Clown is an art form which has existed for thousands of years, and undergone
a revolution in recent times, as it made the leap back from circus into
theatre, giving birth to 'new clown' and physical theatre. This course takes
a broad view of clown, which allows students room to develop their own
unique style. Each day starts with a yoga warm up, followed by exercises to
develop physical and emotional expression, and improvisational exercises to
develop comic timing and audience rapport. This workshop will also include
opportunities for those who want to create clown performance material. We
often have ideas or images of what we want to do, but we need a structure to
help us develop these. This workshop is designed to help with this process.
Clown
Summer School Retreat, Wednesday January 10 to Sunday 14, (5 day)
Sandy Bay, Coromandel Peninsular, New Zealand. Including 6 nights
accommodation, Price Buster NZ$520 (by 1st Sept), Earlybird $620 (by 1st
Nov), $720 (full)
The Clown Retreat will be held in a secluded studio by the beach at Sandy
Bay, at the top of the Coromandel Peninsular, about four hours drive from
Auckland, New Zealand. The fees include six nights accommodation with
kitchen facilities. The Clown Retreat is timed to be held just before the
world buskers Festival in Christchurch for those coming for the summer
season in New Zealand. The Retreat will provide an opportunity to reconnect
with that playful, inquisitive, cheeky, clown spirit in a beautiful outdoor
setting.
"In the best clown tradition Alan held up a
window-mirror for us to step through and reflect on the patterns, habits and
rituals of our days... It was funny, moving and excellent theatre." NZ
Herald.

NACL is now accepting letters of application for the
2006 training retreat. REASONABLE TUITION for artists, students, teachers!
For two weeks, international retreat participants (performers, directors,
theatre makers) live and eat at the NACL artists' residence and train
intensively with NACL founders, Brad Krumholz , Tannis Kowalchuk, and guest
teacher Ker Wells in NACL's church-turned-theatre on scenic Highland Lake
(located 2 hours from New York City).
Training History
Drawing from a continuum of experimental techniques that includes
the ensemble work of Denmark's Odin Teatret, Canada's Primus Theatre, and
the research of Jerzy Grotowski, we have built upon these sources to develop
a unique approach that awakens each artists potential to maximize the
expressive use of body, voice, imagination, experience, memory and intellect
to create compelling performance work.
NACL
Training
The Animal, Work --- vigorous physical exercises designed to expand physical
presence, impulse, expressivity, and 'the center' of the actor.
The Vegetable Work --- vocal training that focuses equally on the
possibilities found within each actor's many vocal resonators and on the
work of group singing in harmony.
The Mineral Work --- generating material for performance. Tapping into his
or her own creative and individual fire, each retreat participant will
create performance material that will eventually be montaged into a final
presentation that culminates the retreat.
Guest teacher, Ker Wells will also work with participants on his unique
training exercises and performance creation.
Who should do this?
This retreat is designed for those interested in ensemble theatre,
solo work, devised performance, physical theatre adaptations, experimental
and original theatre creation. The physical training is vigorous but should
not dissuade those with little or no experience. In the past, writers,
directors, teachers, dancers, and actors have participated.
Application Process
Tuition is only US$1150 for workshops, housing, and food (an all-inclusive
price for 2 full weeks!) Please send us a detailed letter about yourself
that includes your experience, age, and why you are interested in this
retreat. We will reply to everyone who applies. Upon acceptance, a deposit
of $250 will be required to hold a place at the retreat. Send Application
Letter to: Tannis Kowalchuk, Artistic Director, NACL, 110 Highland Lake Rd.
Highland Lake, NY 12743 USA. Ph: 845-557-0694.
This year's major theme will focus on the creation and production of 'The
Cannes Magical Mr. E Detour.' As the public are transported via electric
train, their Magical Mr. E tour guides take them on a historical journey
throughout the city of Cannes. During this voyage the unsuspecting tourists
will experience a unique series of events and animations performed by the
master class actors along various locations on the route.
As a Clown Performer you will work with other professionals in an ensemble;
relate to the audience in unpredictable and spontaneous situations and learn
how to improvise and adapt in order to give the gift of laughter to an
unsuspecting public. You will explore the role of the comic actor as a
social warrior, laughter terrorist and mercenary of humor. 'The world is a
stage and each must play his part' might seem a clichi to some people, but
for the clown it is truth.
The Cannes Master Class Dream Team assisting Jango this year will include
some of the following instructors, teachers, professional animators,
musicians and clown actors:
Peter Ercolano (Italy)
Grada Peskens (Netherlands)
Carlo Colombaioni (Italy)
Lucas Trapaza (Spain)

Slava Polunin (Russia)
Laura Herts (USA)
Tony Murchland (England)
Isabel Murchland (Spain)

Angel Amieva (Spain)
Cristina Borras (Spain)
Barbara Villa (Italy)
The Master Class is for 8 days. Besides the intensive training sessions the
fee includes food, accommodation and a pass to all the events at the
festival. In addition, everybody graduating from the Master Class achieves
the MCS (Master Clown Status) and will receive the official Diploma. Each
participant must be flexible, willing to apply their whole imagination and
have a desire to achieve the art of total communication. The ensemble
animations are compulsory for everyone. Applicants must have a professional
performing status to be considered for selection. Enrolment is based on a
limited number of participants and will be on a first come first serve
basis.

The History of the Cannes Master Class
- 1971 to 2005
The annual "Clown Theory Master Class" has a unique history. From 1971
through 1990 Jango Edwards developed a specific method for students to
explore comic formulas, rediscover the art of clowning and embrace its
social value. Through extensive research, clinical educational experiments
and an open exchange of selected improvisational exercises, comedy styles,
games and acting methods, Jango created the three level "Clown Theory"
workshop. Its success led to the need for a more personalized and intensive
workshop for the professional clown performer and the "Clown Theory Master
Class" was started by Jango Edwards together with Peter Echo and Nana Divina.
A group of international instructors were enlisted, each specialized in a
comic technique, to function as a comedy dream team. With this unit we could
also offer a multi lingual course. Since the "Clown Theory Master Class" was
inaugurated in 1995 at the "First International Clown Festival" in Leukerbad,
Switzerland, it has been conducted annually at numerous international events
in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Holland, India, Brazil and the
United States.
Each year we present a different aspect of the clown art, so that the class
is always a new experience in the learning process, both for students who
have attended previous master classes as well as for first time initiates.
From 2002 to 2004 we expanded our faculty of international instructors,
expanding on the individual and team teaching events. As part of the
training each student was required to write, cast, film and direct a 1
minute comedy short based on the cosmic law of comedy, the 3 gag routine.
Also, as part of our permanent curriculum, we continue to offer each student
one on one private master class sessions with an individual instructor.
