THE MASK AND CLOWN INTENSIVE
June 21 – July 9, 2021
Baby Clown with John Turner of Canada’s very own Mump and Smoot.

This 100-hour course, as previously taught at The Manitoulin Conservatory for Creation
and Performance, is the foundational course based on the work of Canadian Clown
Master Richard Pochinko. In this workshop, initial exercises awaken and encourage a
sense of pleasure, an awareness of the audience, and an honest physical and emotional
response to internal impulses and external events. It is not necessary to be a performer to take this course. All are welcome, from all walks of life.

Participants move through colorwork, varying processes of physicalization and
visualization, create and wear six masks and at the end of the journey, a baby clown is
born. This involved process explores the mask’s innocence and experience and the
relationships between them.

This workshop is an intense blast and furnishes the participant with multiple characters
and a malleable structure for continued creative exploration with limitless applications.
