Clown - A Trip to the Pleasure of Failing - 27th April- May 2nd 2025 | Hessen

Die NowHere-Akademie lädt ein, mit professionellen Improspieler*innen an Clowning: „A Trip to the Pleasure of Failing“ zu arbeiten und die Kunst der Clownerie bei Felipe Ortiz zu erlernen. Das Arbeiten mit Felipe dreht sich darum, die uns innewohnende, ureigene Komik zu entdecken. Wir möchten mit Euch spielen, scheitern und viel miteinander lachen.  //

NowHere-Academy invites you to spend an intensive workshop with professional performers in „Clown“  with Felipe Ortiz. Working with him is about finding your personal comedy. We want to play with you, fail and make people laugh.

„This workshop is an encounter with an essential part of oneself. The clown that we’re looking for is hidden there where we hide our defects and our fears. Where we hide optimism and the pleasure to fail as well.

We’ll explore through games, improvisation and movement, the work of connecting in a special way with the audience, the discovery of creativity immersed in failure, the ability to live in the moment and the search of pleasure and play.

Connect with your vulnerability and let your soul play!“
