Artmedia News
==================================================

Welcome to the April 2005 edition of the Artmedia
physical theatre newsletter, your e-publication with an
Australasian focus and a global perspective.

My apologies that there was no March edition of this
newsletter, but I have been busy doing the final edits
and proof reading of my new book, which has now gone
to the printer in time to have some pre-release copies at
the Australian Circus and Physical Theatre Conference
next week. Yay!

In the sponsorship we have information on the daily
attendance rates for the ACAPTA Conference next week,
together with information on getting there, and on some
of the entertainment programmed alongside the event.

In Playspace news, we have a rare opportunity for New
Zealanders, as I will be teaching a Clown and Physical
Theatre Workshop in Gisborne in early June, my first
workshop in New Zealand in four years.

I also announce some launch events for my new book,
Angels Can Fly, in New Zealand in May. These will
include readings from the book, and an opportunity
for questions and book signing, and also a 15 minute
clown performance, the 'Seven Clown Commandments'.

In the Features we have information on the Creative Gym
Physical Theatre Workshops with Marie Dumont and
Anna Yen in Brisbane, and on some new opportunities
to join Total Theatre, Annie Stainer's School of Physical
Theatre in Perth.

We also feature Clare Bartholomew's Clown and Physical
Comedy Workshop in Melbourne, and David MacMurray
Smith presents Deep Clown, an advanced performance
intensive in Vancouver, Canada.

I resurrect the Campaign section briefly in this issue to
background the state of play on the Great Clown Debate
to be held at the ACAPTA conference next week, and I
encourage any of you thinking to come to the conference
for just one day, to come on Thursday. For those who
can't make it, I hope to post a transcript on my blog, at:
www.alanclay.com/blog.html

In the networking, we have a bit of a Melbourne theme,
with expressions of interest sought for the Melbourne
Fringe, while the Soubrettes seek cabaret/variety acts,
plus we have a workshop with Canadian Director David
Diamond.

Still in Australia, we also have information on a Contact
Improvisation National Gathering in Byron Bay, while in
America the Catskill Festival of New Theatre seeks acts,
and in Argentina there is a call for groups for 'Experimenta
7 Teatro'.

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.

Clown and Physical Theatre Workshop with Alan Clay in
Gisborne, New Zealand. Saturday 4th to Wednesday 8th

Theatre Arts Centre.

In a rare opportunity for New Zealanders, Alan will be
teaching a workshop in Gisborne in early June. This is
Alan's first workshop in four years in New Zealand.

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.

A contemporary physical approach to the clown art form,
exploring playfulness, irreverence, and the freedom of 'not
knowing', which has been developed over twenty years by
Alan Clay at Playspace Studio in Auckland and Sydney.

Each day starts with an yoga warm up, followed by
exercises to develop physical and emotional expression,
and improvisational exercises to develop comic timing and
audience rapport.

Earlybird: NZ$550 before May 14. Full: NZ$700. Enrolments

Zealand (06) 8675076.

"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.

Whilst the workshop will sometimes focus on group work

performer will find their own relationship to the tasks and
discover under different conditions what can work for them
in performance. Designed for people with some performing
or improvisation experience, you will be working solo at
times. Wear loose comfortable clothing. Prepare to be silly,

Feature: Deep Clown Performance Intensive, Vancouver
===================================================

Deep Clown Performance Intensive, May 24th - June 26th

This is a full time, 5 week intensive for performers who have
some previous experience with the development of their
Clown and who wish to reconnect and deepen their
relationship and playability with them. Foundations in the
ability to access the energy of play will be re- examined,
practiced, and extended upon. An extensive opportunity
will be given to increase the degree of honesty and simplicity
within the "Living Conversation" between the performer and
their audience with a strong emphasis on performance
awareness and technique.

The work will explore the development, relationships, &
performance among; The JOEY - the experienced and often
domineering trickster aspect of the Clown, The AUGUSTE -
the innocent and often victimized aspect of the Clown, and
The RINGMASTER - the Overseer who maintains the Frame
of Reference or Arena within which the Clowns play. You will
develop your understanding of how they all co-exist within
each of us and deepen your facility with how they can most
effectively play amongst one another and with an audience.
Turn creation and performance will be stressed and
techniques and strategies for the creation of Clown Turns will
be utilized to develop ideas and to create and perform pieces.
The intensive will conclude with a public performance in a
Cabaret Style environment to give your Clown the opportunity
to get out and play in public.

The Intensive will be led by David MacMurray Smith, 30 Years
Experience. David is dynamic and intuitive in a way that only
a master teacher can be. His enthusiasm for and his scholarly
knowledge of his subject goes deeply into psychoanalytic
theory as well as the history, theory, and performance of
Clowning and Masks. His organization is flawless, organic,
and time tested. He is an open, humane, and accomplished
facilitator." Penelope Stella - Associate Director of the Studio

===================================================
Feature: Angels Can Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide
===================================================

Next month Alan Clay will launch his new book, Angels can
Fly, a Modern Clown User Guide, in New Zealand, and those
attending the ACAPTA Conference in Geelong next week
are also likely to get a sneak preview.

The book promises a
mix of fiction following
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.

Befitting this eclectic
mix, the launch events
will not only include
readings from the book,
and an opportunity for
questions and book
signing, but also a 15 minute clown show entitled the

'Seven Clown Commandments'.

New Zealand Launch Events:

Hutt City Library, Woburn Rd - Thurs 12 May (ph 570 2708)

Hamilton Central Library, Garden Pl - Sun 15 May, 1.30pm

Auckland Central Library, Lorne St - Sat 21 May, 1.30pm

Look out for launch events in England and Switzerland in
July, in Australia in August/September, and in USA and
Canada in October/November.

Angels can Fly is available free in eBook format at
http://www.alanclay.com.au/ebook_list.htm and will be
available in paperback in May, on order through bookshops
and online stores. ( ISBN 0-9578844-1-9 ).

===================================================
Campaign: Great Clown Debate, Conference Backgrounder
===================================================

Those who have been on the list for a few years will recall
the Great Clown Debate, which was sparked when I wrote
an editorial bemoaning the sorry state of clown practice in
the fledgling National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in
Melbourne, Australia.

You can read this editorial in the newsletter archives on the
artmedia site at:
http://www.artmedia.com.au/physical4.htm

The debate was developed over subsequent issues, and
was brought to a close, when Pam Creed the director of
NICA, promised to participate in a forum in return. At the
time she said: "This is a topic best handled in my opinion
in a more structured forum, where one can have a balanced
and informed approach to all the issues. Where in depth
considered dialogue can take place."

"There is a lot of feedback to me about the hours required
to reach the high level of physical skills required which are
expected by some sectors of the industry, and indeed by
many of the students themselves. I would be happy to talk
in detail about NICA's Circus curriculum, our findings and
our outcomes at an industry forum you might like to
arrange, where you and hopefully others can put your
views, and engage in meaningful productive discussions."

Despite this, when the panel at next week's ACAPTA
conference was arranged, Pam declined to participate.
Instead she will be speaking the day before on her vision
for the Australian Circus Industry, and we hope she sees
a special place in it for clown. We have our doubts however,
and so we take the lesson that we have to look elsewhere
to establish tertiary clown training in Australia.

The Clown panel will be chaired instead by Bill Blaikie,
senior lecturer in Theatre/Media at Charles Sturt University,
and will comprise a former clown teacher from NICA, Kate
Kantor, a NICA graduate, Asher Treleaven, and that well
known spoiler for the establishment, Sue Broadway, plus
provocateur and clown teacher, Alan Clay.

A lively debate is guaranteed as we try to find the way
forward with clown training in the 21st century. What is
it? Do we need it? Who should do it? And can we grow
out of the apprenticeship approach from the middle ages,
to embrace the industry needs of today? Can we honour
the growth of the clown art form by encouraging training
innovation?

I hope to post a transcript of the debate on the Angels
Can Fly blog at: www.alanclay.com/blog.htm in the days
after the panel, for those who can't be there in person.
And I encourage any of you thinking possibly to come to
the conference, to get a day pass and come on Thursday
21st, if not for the full three days.

award wining director David Diamond from Headlines
Theatre, Canada. A rare opportunity for artists, activists,

and techniques in the use of theatrical language to
explore community dialogue. It will draw on Davids
24 years of experience working with communities in
Canada, Austria, Brazil, Britain, Germany, Namibia, New
Zealand, and the U.S., to use theatre to create social
change. Level One training will focus on: Group building,
image theatre, either Rainbow or Cops in the Head,

is an opportunity for Australians to learn about a process
that has been used in over 350 communities, worldwide,
on issues of racism, violence, addiction, poverty, sexual
abuse, and language, reclamation, to name just a few.
Theatre for Living has grown out of Augusto Boals works
and David Diamonds interest in, and commitment to, a
systems view of the world. The notion that a community
is a large, living organism, and therefore we need to think
about how we can embrace AND consciously work with
that larger consciousness, using a primal language (the
theatre) to help it tell its stories." Chris Reardon,
