Buf­foon­ery For Actors

A great tool for rehears­ing audi­tions & per­for­mances

I enjoyed the work­shop very much! It really pushed me to exper­i­ment and try things I wouldn’t nor­mally do – in other words, take risks. My mono­logue had gone flat and “planned” until our ses­sion, when I felt really con­nected. Mak­ing fun of the trou­bled char­ac­ter and exag­ger­at­ing it to the point of absur­dity drew me in to all the com­plex­i­ties of that lonely guy.” ~ Ian Batt, Van­cou­ver, Canada

    • Do you wish you could tap more into the depths of your truth?
    • Do you get caught up in the pol­i­tics of act­ing and for­get to play?
    • Do you get frus­trated with direc­tors who deliver vague directions?

Buffooning a scene

You will learn to develop your bouf­fon through a series of exer­cises using your own phys­i­cal­ity. Even­tu­ally, you will “Buf­foon” a pre­pared scene or mono­logue in order to make unex­pected, hon­est dis­cov­er­ies that will feed your work.

Buffooning a Morning Story

In tak­ing a short scene to it’s exag­ger­ated level you will have a tool for “get­ting out of the head and into the body.
