Mump & Smoot come to Vancouver May 2013!

Mump and Smoot — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:16:31 +0000

Mump & Smoot return to the The Cultch, with Something—the hit show that put them on the map! Last delighting Vancouver audiences in 1994, Mump & Smoot return with a rare revival of the show that started it all. In Something, we find the intrepid duo prancing through the etiquette of a fine cafe, the sorrow and despair of a wake, and the pandemonium of the doctor’s office.

May 22 – Jun 2, 2013

Course Description
This workshop is based on the Pochinko technique. Students begin with a focus on listening. Games and exercises are used to awaken and encourage a sense of pleasure, an awareness of one’s immediate environment, and an honest response to internal impulses and external events.

Individually, creativity is explored with colour work and bodywork, and eventually the students begin the making and wearing of six masks. These masks mark out the playground for the clown, guiding the participants through their innocence and experience, extremities, culminating in the “birth” of their individual clown.

Please call Michael Kennard (780) 492-8717 if you have any questions
or email me at kennard@ualberta.ca
To register; Drop off a resume and a deposit to Michael Kennard’s office in the Drama Department 3-113, or make other arrangements with me.
