OD Training. London workshop 2006

An Order of Disorder training that was recorded by a passer-byer who happened upon us at the very beginning of a 90 minute excursion. The video catches the group just after they have left their staging ground, an empty kindergarten room (it was Sunday) that happened to be full of these little red chairs.

The procession in the video was the culmination of a Humor Your Human workshop, a 2 and a half day clown workshop with Zen undertones led by Moshe Cohen (the one with the flower). Most of this video captures the time where he is leading the group. Off camera, the participants spent a good amount of time in individual and small group processional improvisations.
A few of the participants had previous theater training, and several had extensive humor bone activating. This was their first time working together.

The man with the eel was there on the espanade, He had brought out a white bucket with several large eels in water that he was picking up and showing to all interested parties. The clowns had more extensive interactions with him than shown with video. he was a good trickster and came up from behind playfully scaring us as we left his arena.

The name of the man who shot and edited this video has escaped me for now, however I will post it as soon as it appears. Apreciado muito.
