LXCL:Limited to 12 Participants

Workshop Admission

This workshop dives into the world of clown through breath and uses breathing to invite audiences into your personal style of play. Through various clown exercises and games, one will develop a more intimate awareness of their breath during performance, and see how it can make drastic differences in the audience&rsquo;s response to their work. Additionally, students will begin to discover their own unique approach to problem solving by harnessing their individual sense of play. The workshop approaches concepts using the lens of clown where there is no fourth wall, but the skills and knowledge learned can be applied to any performance medium. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to sign up, no previous experience necessary! Danny Wightkin is a Chicago based, award-winning performer who has been studying and performing clown for over 10 years. He studied internationally in France with clown master Philippe Gaulier, nationally with Avner the Eccentric, and he toured multiple solo shows across the country to critical acclaim. He currently teaches at The Annoyance Theatre in Chicago. Beyond the world of clown, he enjoys playing creatures in independent horror productions and appearing in what he deems to be the weirdest.
