The art of the clown actor is not just a
profession, but a lifestyle that demands
an understanding of emotion, sensitivity, passion, pathos
and the heart.
Jango Edwards specializes in Clown Theory,
through active participation in selected games, improvisational
exercises and sensitivity instruction, combined with an introduction
to the comic formula and its direct application to the actor
for performance. He is both a devotee of the traditional art
and an innovator of the 'nouveau clowns'.
The essence of clown, in the pure sense, is a combination
of innocence and maturity. The Clown Theory Encounter is a
way of uniting these qualities so each participant can discover
and develop their personal clown, and apply it to their life
after the course is completed. A combination of 20 years of
professional experience, simple awareness and common logic,
enables the instructor to reveal the clown character within
each of us.
Through the use of assorted games, physical activities, socio-Iogical
demonstrations, improvisations and performance, each student
will find his or her comic simplicity, innocence and logic,
which are the fundamental ingredients of the clown formula.
A play-environment is created, in which trust within the group
ensemble can develop. This motivates the students to remember
the innocence they have forgotten. It will also reveal present
social and human conditions. It may sound complicated but
in fact it's simple; it is the simplicity that is difficult
for us to grasp.
Clown is a social character in all realms of life. The performance
situation, be it theater or circus, is probably the most common
form through which we know clowns; but it's the least important.
The primary requirements to reveal your personal clown is
a knowledge of the comic formula and the creation of a clown
heart. You have always had, and always will have, a clown
heart, but to revive it demands the simple desire to regain
and sustain your youth throughout all aspects of life.
The Clown Theory Class first reveals the innocence each of
us has surrendered; and then proves it is never too late to
recapture it again. It's a challenge, it's revealing but most
of all it's fun.
