For those of you interested in clowning and dance (movement), here's a great workshop being put on by a great lady. Grindl, for those who may not know, played Granny Garbonzo on the hit kid's show, Big Comfy Couch.
DANCING CLOWN A Workshop With Grindl Kuchirka Sat .Oct 10th & Sun. Oct. 11th 2009 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM The Dancemakers Centre for Creation The Distillery District Toronto, Ont. Grindl Kuchirka's "Dancing Clown" sessions are designed to bring more depth to your acting and more soul to your dancing by experiencing the creative movement and dance of the clown. In fact there has been a natural cross fertilization between these two art forms since the first cave man tripped and fell while dancing the great hunt story around the tribe's evening fire. Experience the essence of clown, and the simplicity of expressing comedy through movement. Discover how movement can amplify humor, and what lies behind that illusive quality called timing. Explore classical and modern styles of dance, choreography, improvisation, and pedestrian movement. Focus on anatomy and learn where the impulse of movement originates. This workshop is available for clowns, dancers, actors, directors, musicians, movement artists, painters, poets, ….. Dance experience is not necessary. “By playing with the archetypal roles of the clown throughout history--- from romantic poetry to modern tragedy--- we will re-create the many dances of the clown, from deep profound sadness to sparkling, uninhibited hilarity---- and have a lot of fun!" Grindl Kuchirka is a unique Canadian artist who combines the dedication and discipline of the dancer and the whimsical spontaneity of the clown. With extensive training in dance and movement as well as 30 years of experience as a professional clown, Grindl has performed in North America, Europe, India and Asia. She has created, developed and conducted her signature "Dancing Clown Workshop" as well as choreographed for dance, theatre and television in Canada, France Holland and India. She has led numerous workshops in dance and clown for people of all ages. Her artistic endeavors have been generously supported by The Ontario Arts Council, Laidlaw Foundation, Toronto Arts Council and The Canada Council for The Arts.
