“KEEP THINGS LIGHT, PRESENT AND STUPID” GAULIER. Equity Board member Miriama McDowell is offering a one day workshop , to brush up your le jeu skills. “I trained at L’ecole Philipe Gaulier in Le Jeu and Clown, and he taught me that everything we do as actors needs to come from a childlike playfulness- but how do we access this as adults? Come play with other Equity members as we look at lots of different ways to get back to our best playful selves.” Never heard of Le Jeu? Come along and find out what it’s all about.
