SUMMARY:Clowning Around with Philip Geller
DESCRIPTION:Clown is… the wise-fool… the prophet and the poop…the sacred and the profane. My clown practice draws from Pochinko\, Gaulier\, and trickster methods (if that means nothing to ya\, don’t even worry ‘bout it bb). This isn’t the scary Halloween clown\, or maybe necessarily even the circus clown\, this is the trickster within calling to be unleashed to teach lessons\, get in (and out of) trouble\, and tell really really really good stories. Whether or not you wanna be a clown in real life\, this practice can open unexpected and explosive pathways for creation and performance.  Please come prepared to move and play! \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nPhilip Jonah Logan Geller is a pretty okay clown…okay…okkaaayy? \nThey have trained and worked with some people who said they knew what they were doing including Micheal Kennard (Mump and Smoot)\, Jan Henderson (Fool Moon Productions)\, Karen Hines (Poxy Plays)\, and Natty (Nathanial) Justiano (Naked Empire Bouffon). They recently trained at the prestigious (AKA over-priced) Ecole Philippe Gaulier. Philip has performed\, directed\, and taught clown (or clown adjacent) work across so-called Canada for the past ten years. \nPhilip’s practice is ever evolving and includes a weaving of traditional European clown with Michif trickster narratives. All of this to say Philip has learnt (is learning) how to play with abundance. Philip is Jewish (Ashkenazi) and Red River Michif (Métis) with Logan\, Dupuis\, Vandal ancestors\, and roots to the historic Métis community of Rooster Town. \nPhilip has worked across Turtle Island with companies including The Stratford Festival\, Native Earth Performing Arts\, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre\, Gwaandak Theatre\, and Centre for Indigenous Theatre. They are a graduate of the MFA Directing Program at York University and the BFA Acting Program at the University of Alberta.
