Artmedia News
Welcome to the November 2009 edition of the Artmedia physical theatre newsletter, your e-publication with an Australasian focus and a global perspective, now in its eighth year and reaching over 2,500 subscribers.
As you know, Artmedia is producing a feature film about a singing and dancing duo, Butterfly Crush, based on Alan Clay's second novel, Dance Sisters. Following our call last month for extras for the film, we have received many expressions of interest, but there are still a few places available. We are looking for extras to feature in the opening scene of the movie, which will be shot at Circular Quay in Sydney, on Saturday November 28. More info below in the features.
I use the Sponsorship this month to promote my book, Angels Can Fly,
a user guide for anyone wanting to explore and develop the modern
clown. I have included two excerpts from the book to give you a taste of
what the book has to offer.
In the Playspace section, I have set the dates for my June 2010 Clown Retreat. This is a great opportunity to get away from it all and reconnect with the playful, inquisitive, cheeky, clown spirit in a beautiful outdoor setting, overlooking the mouth of the Wanganui river.
In the Features we have information on the latest workshop from Clare Bartholomew in Melbourne. This workshop of exploration using improv, games and exercises is geared toward experienced performers (not necessarily in clowning), who want to discover their clown. The workshop runs from December 14th to 18th. Places are limited, so get your expression of interest in soon.
In Networking we have information on auditions for a tour of New Zealand schools with the Ugly Shakespeare Company. They require male actors with physical theatre skills and an empathy with teens. The auditions will be held in Auckland, the deadline for applications is December 15th. STAB 2010 is a funding programme for innovative performance run by BATS Theatre in Wellington. BATS describe STAB as 'a great seeding ground for new work and new ideas." Applications close November 30th. Also in Wellington, the New Zealand School of Dance is seeking a Head of Contemporary Dance. They require someone with a comprehensive dance performance background, leadership and management skills. Applications close November 27th.
A Movement Workshop for Performance is being offered by Anna Yen in Brisbane, Australia starting December 14th. Inspired by the work of Monika Pagneux and Moshe Feldenkrais, the workshop is designed to expand physical possibilities, playfulness, presence and ensemble skills. In Croatia, the 5th New Circus Festival is being held in Zagreb. As part of the festival they are offering a Clown Workshop with Laura Herts - 'Getting to Clown Mind through the Body' on November 28th. Through movement, voice, play and improvisation the participants will reach the clown in themselves.
Suzanne Santos is offering her Character and Ensemble Clowning Workshop in San Francisco (USA), December 5th & 6th. The workshop is for anyone who wants to further develop a clown character or for birthing a new clown persona, using mask technique, improvisation, physical expression, and commedia dell'arte. In the UK a new London-based organization is offering part time work for a Movement and Physical Development (Yoga) Trainer. This is a development opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial and ambitious spirit. Application closes November 30th.
The Women’s Clown Festival in Vienna, Austria
is calling for proposals for their next festival being held November 26th to
December 4th 2010. They want to provide panel discussions, workshops and
shows that demonstrate the diversity of the female clown genre and promote
international exchange between the artists. Proposals can be submitted until
March 31st. And in France, the Pas de Dieux Physical Theatre
have invited Thomas Leabhart to present his Corporeal Mime – Technique
Etienne Decroux workshop as part of The Body's Journey, a series of
technical workshops organized by Pas de Dieux. The Paris workshop will
run from January 4th to 8th for eight hours each day.
We aim to provide an avenue of communication for the physical theatre
community, so send us information for inclusion in this newsletter, and
please also forward this to someone else who may be interested.

Sponsor: Angels Can Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide - a textbook for a fast changing art form
The traditional approach to teaching clown is routine or gag based and this sits uncomfortably both with the teaching practices in modern performing arts education and with today's audiences. Angels Can Fly is a textbook for this fast changing art form, as clown escapes from the circus to perform in theatres and streets.
The book includes a total of 50 practical clown exercises appropriate for workshops or performance, developed by Alan Clay through 30 years of teaching. Specific prerequisites to any exercise are detailed in each chapter.
There are warm-up and introductory exercises in the early chapters, mid-session or mid-course exercises in the middle chapters, and more performance-oriented exercises, and relaxation exercises, in the final chapters. The exercises have all been coded for individual exploration, for work in pairs, for workshop use, or for use in a performance setting, or for some combination of these.
| Excerpt from | Preface: | Magic Theatre |
When I first read Hermann Hesse’s
Steppenwolf, I was impressed with the section where the hero enters
a door marked ‘Magic Theatre, Not for Everybody’, and I think this a
useful preface to the exercises in this book.
Clown exercises are not for everybody, and you undertake any of these
experiences at your own risk, because a lot of the work encourages a
letting go of the self, that may be harmful to some people with
psychiatric disorders. Many of the exercises also require strict
implementation, as outlined in the coaching tips in each exercise, to be
most effective.
The exercises have also been arranged in an order which I have found
best facilitates their implementation, so that the necessary development
has already occurred, to get the most out of the new work.
Specific prerequisites to any exercise are detailed in each chapter.
You will find warm-up and introductory exercises in the early chapters,
mid-session or mid-course exercises in the middle chapters, and more
performance-oriented exercises, and relaxation exercises, in the final
chapters.
So for any workshop session, it is best to take an exercise from the
start, one from the middle and one from the end, for a well-rounded
workshop structure.
It is also assumed that a good physical warm up, of some description,
would also be included at the start of any session and prior to any of
these exercises, so that our bodies are available for the work and we
are not carrying tensions or blocks which might cause injury.
The exercises have all been coded for INDIVIDUAL exploration, for work
in PAIRs, for WORKSHOP use, or for use in a PERFORMANCE setting, or for
some combination of these.
Enjoy.
| Excerpt from | CHAPTER 1: Go | Your Own Path |
Welcome to Angels can Fly. This
book has been a long time in evolution in my life, because it brings
together a number of threads from my clown work, my fiction writing,
my theatre teaching, and my spiritual growth. Yet, as I set out on
the journey of writing this story, I know there are many ways of
doing it, and no one right way, and so I have to cast myself into
the unknown of each blank page, to achieve any progress whatsoever.
Similarly I encourage you to surrender yourself to the book, and to
read through it in any order you choose. You may wish to read from
start to finish, or dip into the chapters at random. You may see it
as a novel on the human condition, a clown textbook, a philosophical
treatise, or a memoir or oral history. Please go your own path with
this work and make it your own.
It is the same with modern clown, for we each have to go our own way
with the art. Pierre Byland, a clown teacher from Switzerland,
surveyed the students coming to his clown school over a number of
years and asked them why they wanted to work with clown. He reported
at a forum on teaching clown in Amsterdam in 1999, that no two
answers to this question were ever the same, and deduced from this
that 'clown is a different thing to each person'.
By extension, with so many people doing it, it must be a pretty big
thing to encompass so many different facets, so more than in any
other art form; there is no 'right' way to do it. This however is a
modern view of the art form, for we tend to associate clown with a
few classic characters which have come down to us through recent
circus tradition.
Clown is an art form which far predates the circus, and is in fact
thousands of years old, existing as far as I have been able to tell,
in every culture on the planet through the ages, so it obviously
also serves an important social function.
Like any art form it has to evolve to stay relevant to the culture
nurturing it, and with the huge changes in society over recent
years, there has been a corresponding growth in the clown art form.
This book is an attempt to chart that change, promote that process
by providing a context or reference points for thinking on the
subject, and also to provoke discussion.
"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."

Playspace: Clown Retreat with Alan Clay
Clown
Retreat 2010 - Wanganui, New Zealand Reconnect with the playful, inquisitive, cheeky, clown spirit in a beautiful outdoor setting, overlooking the mouth of the Wanganui river. Following the last two clown retreats in Wanganui, we find that the relaxed atmosphere and secluded environment means that students get more out of the contact hours and can also process and discuss the work outside of the class.
Modern clown is less character based and more interactive than traditional clown, it is less about hiding behind make-up and more about revealing our true selves, and less about routine based entertainment and more about spontaneous artistic expression. We need training and tools to facilitate these new skills in our work, and this workshop aims to give participants a way of working which supports this process.
The fees include six nights accommodation with kitchen facilities. The Clown Retreat will be held in a secluded studio within reach of breathtaking west coast beaches, bush walks and jet boat or canoe expeditions, but still handy to good coffee and all the facilities.
The workshop is aimed at those with a professional interest in clown. It is suitable both for beginners and for those with experience, and it functions best with this mix in the class. There will be a minimum of four and maximum of eight on the workshop.
NZ$800 including 6 nights accommodation with kitchen facilities. $600 Price-buster (by Apr 5) $700 Earlybird (by May 17) $800 Full. (All fees and deposits are non-refundable) email: clown at artmedia.com.au to hold a place or make enquiries about this workshop.

"Clown
Workshop with Laura Herts, 5th New Circus Festival,
Zagreb, Croatia. November 28th. Getting to Clown Mind through the Body - a
workshop with Laura Herts is for professional and amateur actors, dancers,
circus artists, comedians, theater instructors, educators and others. The
workshop was designed as a search of the path towards laughter. Its goal is
to empower the participants of the workshop and help them find a unique
comical world while using their imperfections and absurdity as strength, and
also by giving a theatrical dimension to ridiculousness. Through movement,
voice, theatrical play (solo or with the group), through improvisation in an
open, calm, and interactive atmosphere, the participants will witness
breaking of the barriers of reason and the birth of a clown. Laura Herts
explains that a clown is like Zen, when we reach Nirvana, should we try to
hold on to it, try to understand it with our intellect, it escapes us. We
can only try to find some ways to reach the clown in ourselves and ride the
wave. The workshop will start with a physical and spiritual preparative
approach by waking up the senses through movement. We will be looking for
the relationship between ourselves and the space around us, the movement and
the breath, breathing and the voice we enjoy; Dance, Yoga, Tai Chi, Voice
Training and Singing, Breathing and Meditation Exercises, Mime, and Neutral
Mask. Through improvisational exercises, we will observe our potential to
play, freeing ourselves for greater intimacy and more vivid expression.
Participants will begin to observe potential clown moments as they get in
touch with their spontaneity, their impulses and pleasure, as well as
finding complicity with one another in the group just through simple play.
Ultimately, through individual coaching, each of the participants is brought
to awareness and performance of his or her own clown. Laura Herts is an
eclectic female clown who in her work combines clown with mime and theater.
She studied at the Belgium School of Mime-Theatre Lassaad, and in Paris
followed the teachings of Jacques Lecoq, Daniel Stein and Philippe Gaulier.
Laura teaches actors, clowns and other performers since 1990, and while
performing and education artist, toured the entire world. For more

UK. Part time (£25k-30k pro rata). Application closes 30 November. We are a
new organisation planning to set up a Creative Studio space for people
interested in attending well-being classes and actors who are looking for
physical and personal development. Based in Shoreditch we want to programme
the space with well-being and physical development classes and develop a
studio for group movement and acting workshops. This work will also cohere
in a community youth programme based on physical well-being, personal
development and self-leadership. We are looking for a well-being and
physical development partner to join in this venture. You will probably be
an experienced yoga practitioner with established classes elsewhere and as
well as being able to use the space to teach your discipline you will
programme it with other classes (including tai chi, Alexander,
Feldenkrais). Probably also with a movement and performance
background you will understand the connections between physical embodiment
and the personal development of the actor as exemplified in the work of
Laban, Michael Chekhov etc. Most crucially you will be
someone who understands the importance of these activities to the physical
development, health and well-being of young people and their value to
acquiring self-leadership and the path to personal success as a young
person. This is a development opportunity and will demand an entrepreneurial
and ambitious spirit. We're looking for someone passionate about what they
do and the possibilities of changing the lives of young people in Hackney.
We will negotiate remuneration dependent on discussions. Please make your
