Sad Clown
I really enjoyed the commedia dell 'arte workshops and have come up with on idea for the show.
I want to be a sad clown character whose job is to sweep after the show i find an old copy of newspaper and look at the jobs page. i act out a few of the advertised jobs e.g superhero which do not go well - i end up by trying to sweep up the light which i have seen on a youtube clip (emmett kelly - caught sweeping up the light )
what do you think?
- on to stage sweep up at end of show .
- say goodbye harry
- prop , mirror , ( newspaper) , table and chair make up
- look mirror sad want to be in a show
- put on clown makeup
- look newspaper
- see jobs- think give it a go!
- 1st job- super hero- think of (fall over) comedy routine
- second job - think of comdey lover routine (hit with broom)
- third job- space man - put bin on head (gets stuck)
- give up and see to light try sweep to light (end light off full dark)
if you do this I think you should be sweeping and cleaning in the bar and on the stage from before the start of the show, and then place the different elements at staged points throughout the rest of the show, so that we meet the character and the reacquaint ourselves with him at several points....
ReplyDeleteI like Lisas idea of this character being seen from the start, looks like s good idea, I think Sam and Chris already have a sketch on two superheroes that can't do anything right, so I'd have a chat with them to see if your two ideas conflict with each other.
ReplyDeleteAdding onto harrys point about sam and chris's superhero idea, you could look into it and if they do conflict, see how maybe you can merge the two instead of scraping one or the other?
ReplyDeleteMight not work but it could turn out that maybe one is the villain, may not work but something to look into could make a few comedy moments using heroes and villains
