N.C.I.
Granollers - Master Classes – 2009/10 Season |
The
first year of the academy will comprise two intensive
learning programmes of one month each; the first in October
of 2009 and the second around March / April of 2010. These two
introductory sessions will be developed as a framework towards
the inaugration of the academy’s one year curriculum proposed
to commence in the fall of 2010. |
Prior
to the opening of the university in October, the N.C.I. will set
up ‘Laugh Central’, the administrative office,
to coordinate with the administration at the Fabrica de les Arts
and contact, contract and enrol students and teachers for the
first learning program. This administration will continue throughout
the year, organising the teaching courses and researching the
future development of the institute. |
The
initial N.C.I. Clown Theory Master Classes (October 2009
and March 2010) Will be for up to 30 students. Applicants should be professional and Jango will personally interview them before acceptance. There should be a balance between students from Catalunia and international students. The fees will be kept as low as possible for this first year, depending on how many students there are and the other financial assistance that the Institute receives. |
The
curriculum will include physical training combined with
theatrical and improvisational games and exercises, lectures,
audio-visual demonstrations, one-on-one training, internet research
assignments, an introduction to ‘Clown Theory’ plus
the Comic Formulas and rehearsals for the weekly performance presentation. |
The
teaching faculty will be between four and six instructors;
two permanent master teachers Jango Edwards and
Raffeale de Ritis
who will oversee the activitities for the whole month, assistant
teachers, who can vary, and a different guest teacher each week. |
