Explore the application of clowning in the works of Samuel Beckett, guided by David, whose expertise in the subject includes his recent work as consultant on Broadway’s Waiting for Godot starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Beckett’s long-running fascination with clowns of the circus and silent movie era is reflected in so many of his plays, from high jinks and comic routines to philosophical angst and existential despair. Beckett captured - and shaped - the essence of the modern clown with signature brilliance, and this workshop reveals both the outer images and the inner dynamics that connect the iconic clown figure with the imagination of perhaps the greatest playwright of the 20th Century.
