    Thank you soooo much for this video. I am a caricature artist here in Winnipeg , Manitoba Canada. In the summer time I travel with an entertainment caravan of games and rides. Ferris wheel and other rides and so on. I am using costumes (customized) to act a bit of a chararcter too, so this video was a real delight for further growth into my entertainment gig. Thank you and I look forward to watching more! This is genius on your part explaining things, I do really appreciate your efforts here.

    Great Idea's. I'm sure I'll include my own version of this in one of Cookie & Freddie's shows soon. I love working with chairs, but it is easy to get tangled up more than intended! I think I will do it with a cream pie, and Cookie will of course offer to help by putting it in my face! Thanks again!

  • @MrDramaWorkshops

    5 жыл бұрын

    Yes, clowning can cover so many different styles. Even some of those early circus clowns could be pretty brutal - in Felini's fantastic film 'I Clowns' there is a great bit where one of the clown's puts an axe into the head of another. I'm sure you can find some other dangerous stunts like this on youtube. Have you thought of trying the bowling ball juggling routine which ends with the juggler throwing one of the balls up and bouncing it on his/her head?

    Ok, so the clown sticks with the problem? So say the clown wants a balloon and doesn’t want to lose it, so we as people normally tie it to our finger, but the clown let’s go thinking that it will fall to the ground, it floats away, making another problem of grabbing it, grabs it, then let’s go again. Is that how it works or more sofisticated?

  • @MrDramaWorkshops

    @MrDramaWorkshops

    That's a pretty good summary of how it works. If you wanted to stick further with the problem and develop an act further, the challenge would be to discover different ways of grabbing the balloon and different reasons for letting it go. And finally the pay off - how will it end? Will the balloon burst?

    (True Opinion) I did several courses of clown and in nearly all, the main objective of the clown is the tragedy. To get take up, until highest in a energy level. And the needs of the clown are basics, (eat, sleep, run, play, teach, cook,...) The clown birth when he cannot do that he want by all that problems. I haven't seem problems and the need clear. I saw someone playing with a chair and with a cake in the hand not with real problems to sit and eat the cake. I wait that my opinion not disturb
