Local theatre group The Hinterlands is presenting an extensive all day workshop that explores comedic timing, admitting the truth, and the art of comedy on stage this Saturday, April 17th from 10:00am – 6:00pm.
From the listing:
Do you think clowns belong only in circuses, birthday parties, and wanted posters? Think again. The clown is one of the most enduring figures in performance history; from the virtuosic physical bits of Chaplin and Keaton to the verbal ballet of Will Ferrell and Stephen Colbert. The study of clown is the study of what is essential in performance; presence, timing, relationship, risk, truth, and joy.
The Hinterlands are an ensemble of Milwaukee based artists who:
- Create original, multidisciplinary performance works
- Explore the art of the performer through explosive and ecstatic training and play
- Engage their community through direct collaboration and exchange.
The Hinterlands will lead a full day clown workshop on Saturday, April 17th from 10:00am – 6:00pm at Bucketworks (706 S. 5th St., Milwaukee).
Tickets in advance are $55 or $60 at the door. Get tickets online here.
