WORKSHOP “Music and Clown have always existed side by side for me, the one feeding the other. As we’ve started working intensively with musicians as part of our directing and teaching, we’ve realized how useful our work can be in opening up new ways of being on stage, new ways of being true to our comedic performing selves. This is the first time I’ve offered this workshop in New York. I’m excited to see what brilliant, mad, strange concoctions of music and theatre we come up with!
