Workshop with clown
and performer David Shiner

David Shiner's workshop method is based on developing the talent of performers who want to learn the art of clowning and for actors who want to further develop their skills to achieve a powerful and convincing performance.

Over the three days, David Shiner will guide participants through several processes based on three different methods that he has developed himself.

Storytelling without words

Explores the basic principles of storytelling through pantomime and improvisation.

The Samurai

Samurai is the process of using sound - one's voice - and movement to access deeper, underlying emotions. This process aims to release the retained energy of the performer.

Create material

Focuses on working with the self and physical awareness through pantomime or dance.

The workshop will be held in English. The course is presented by Teater Gry with support from Dansk Artist Forbund
