Celebrate the Lower Status
Liron Barre
We love being right and setting the tone. We enjoy receiving praise and admiration from others, we’re only human, after all. However, in so many cases, it is the seemingly clueless and good for nothing character who steals the spotlight. As improvisers, we understand the importance of status in a scene, in terms of relationships, dynamics, and tension. In this workshop, we will explore the concept of a low status, the various types of characters that it encompasses, different ways to achieve it, and how to push it even lower.
Using techniques from clowning, we will embrace our mistakes, flaws, and errors, as they are the ones who make us relatable as human beings and create loveable characters. We will discover the perks that come with lower status, the playfulness and tomfoolery. So let's get lost together!
