Playfulness with Daniel Orrantia
Sat, April 19 / 10 - 5

Anything is possible if it happens within a game. In a friendly and secure atmosphere the participants will look for ways to unleash themselves into a world of endless opportunities within the act of play. They will find the pleasure in taking risks, finding ways of raising the stakes in a playful way. The workshop is designed to be suitable for beginners and will also allow experienced players to learn a lot about themselves.

History of the workshop:
The idea for this workshop was born when Anja Balzer and Nadine Antler asked me to teach in Bochum back in 2012. Around that time I was beginning to get interested in ways of behaving and misbehaving on stage so the proposal seemed as the perfect opportunity to take a deeper look this theme. As years go by I find more tools useful for this workshop in the world of bouffon, clown and the exploration done with participants.
