Sliding scale (1999Kč - 3201Kč)
Being Bad is a course in reverse - a course in which you discover who you are, not what you are supposed to be.
There, deep in our hearts, there is a core of you - some of us manage to save it, but many times we forget about what once, a long time ago, was our essence - the joy of life, innocence, childlike delight and naivety. All of these qualities are inherent to creativity.
This workshop helps you connect with this creativity and discover the pleasure of being yourself, when everyone is looking at you... Sounds scary? Only a bit, but mostly it is pure fun.
Okay, it sounds interesting, but more specifically - what will we actually do?:
We will work on how to use our real emotions to enrich our stage skills, how to play with them on stage, maintain eye contact with the audience and how to be sensitive to the energy of our show, and how to discover comedy using the body. We will explore this using various games and activities, and although they are demanding, they are fun. The exercises are a series of ridiculous situations in which you will potentially experience multiple failures. The participant's task is to play with 100% of their ability to be funny and beautiful. This leads to many failures and situations in which you are not funny at all - and this is where we will discover our creativity.
The workshop aims to learn how to better make friends with our lack of being perfect, the part of us that is completely unfunny and funny, and learn to play with this imperfection, to use failure as a beautiful gift from the world.
