SUMMARY:Kenny Raskin: Follow The Laugh
DESCRIPTION:Kenny Raskin: Follow The Laugh\n\nThis workshop is designed for those who yearn to be clowns\, or for those who just want to use these skills to enhance their acting chops. Clowns live in a world of spontaneity\, flexibility and distractibility. They follow their noses\, and the rest of their senses as well. This workshop is designed to help you find the part of yourself that connects you to your physicality and spontaneity\, sparking wonderfully creative ideas on stage. To create comedy\, one must create surprise.  To do that\, one must surprise oneself. My students initially work without thought\, without ideas\, but rather with their direct contact with the world.  In this way they learn to create accidents\, to see them coming — in a sense\, to make them intentional. We also learn to listen to the audience\, as they often tell the performer what is happening. That is why I tell my students to “follow the laugh!”  If they laugh\, something is worth exploring… \nSOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: kenny.raskin.7 / Instagram: @kennyraskin / LinkedIn: kennyraskin \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: For the past forty years\, Kenny Raskin has made a name for himself worldwide as a leading physical comedian and teacher of clowning. He starred as the lead clown Everyman in Cirque du Soleil’s  NOUVELLE EXPERIENCE\, and was also featured in Cirque du Soleil’s 3D IMAX film entitled JOURNEY OF MAN\, and appeared as well as the Vaudeville Comedian in director Barry Levinson’s film\, LIBERTY HEIGHTS. \nKenny also originated the role of Lefou in Disney’s Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.\nHe has also been a frequent player in the European Variete and television circuit\, performing in theaters such as the WINTERGARTEN VARIETE in Berlin\, APOLLO VARIETE in Dusseldorf\, the Prinzregenten Theater Munich\, and BBC television. \nKenny is presently the artistic director of the Boston based Medical Clown Troupe Hearts and Noses. \nDATES: December 12th & 13th\, 2026 \nTimes: \nCHECK-IN: 9:30 AM \nSTART: 10:00 AM \nEND: 3:45 PM \nCOST: $80/$125/$225 \nAge Limit: This workshop is 16+ \nRefund Policy: No refunds within 7 days of the workshop. \nADA Accessibility: The Rockwell is partially ADA Accessible with an elevator and restrooms in saloon wide enough for wheelchair use.
