Workshop with William Hall – “Improvisation for Clowns” October 10 and 11
The Clown Conservatory is delighted to offer another year of exciting artistic development opportunities to CIRCUS CENTER students. In this unique workshop series, resident and guest instructors will coach participants on a wide range of topics. The Series is appropriate for students new to the fields of clowning and performance, as well as, those with more experience.
Upcoming Workshop:
October 10 and 11: William Hall – “Improvisation for Clowns”
Two days of Improvisation for the inner and outer clown. Action (not talk) will set the tone of the workshop. We’ll explore how to trust your own instinct AND play well with others. We’ll learn how to accept what your brain gives you AND what your partner gives you. We’ll explore the relationship of character to laughter, story to laughter and being obvious. I promise that you will laugh during the workshop. Improv will help you build new material, work with the audience and find the ‘golden mistakes’ when things don’t go as planned.
WILLIAM HALL is an actor, improviser and teacher. He is the founder of BATS Improv in San Francisco. BATS Improv is the largest full time improv theatre and school in the Bay Area. He has studied extensively with improv theorist Keith Johnstone. He is a founding member of the San Francisco based Comedy Theater Group; Fratelli Bologna where he has helped create more than a dozen original comedies including the Holiday Comedy Classic "The Weber Christmas A charmingly blasphemous Yule tide tale". Fratelli Bologna was the first improv company to work at Disneyland. He developed and trained improv casts for Disneyland and the Queen Mary and trained the interactive characters for the World of Coke-a-Cola in Las Vegas. Currently William works with Fratelli Bologna to bring the power of theatre to businesses. Using traditional monologues, scenes, masks and improvisation to explore the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities that the future presents.
