ACV320 - Being Present Through Clown

Not all clowning techniques are about making people laugh, but about using them to enable the actors to be open and honest to what is happening around them. Using clown techniques for camera work involves finding ways to be compelling to watch, and responsive to all moments. This course will use European Clown techniques to help students find ways to be present in each moment of their character, be they clown or otherwise. Students will continue the ?impulse? work from ACV220 and continue the progression towards the vulnerability demanded by the camera.

GEN001 - General Education Option

According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?.
