Character Mask to Clown with Deborah Kaufmann inspired by the teaching of Richard Pochinko
This multi-disciplinary investigation is an inspiring way for the
artist to make direct connection to aspects of his/her true self. In
the spirit of physical discovery and playfulness we will visit our
childhood room, experience a bittersweet goodbye, and find the
personal meaning in the colors of the rainbow. We will each make six
masks: north, west, south, east, above, and below. We will connect to
and physicalize each direction and then create a clay mask. The masks
are explored and a character is developed for each one. All six
characters are combined to create a persona that is unique, with a
deeply personal mythology and imagined environment that can be used
for exploration and the development of new material.
About the Instructor:
Deborah Kaufmann has performed and taught clown and hospital clowning
in the US and around the world. She has been the national creative and
educational coordinator of Big Apple Circus Clown Care since 1994. In
that capacity she trains, coaches, and directs, as she oversees the
artistic quality and growth of more than 80 unique "clown doctors." Of
her 2006 performance at the New York Clown Theatre Festival,
nytheatre.com said, "this performance gleams most brightly, with true
mischief and solid will operating unfettered at maximum strength."
"I highly recommend this workshop to people interested in
the deep exploration of their own imagination, impulse and
memory."
– Jonathan Kaplan
