How to play a carrot?

A physical approach of building a comedy character

In a time of stand-up comedy and high tech theater, visual comedian Eric Koller teaches you that simplicity may contain a great beauty and a large dose of humor.

In this workshop he teaches you how to build a stage character. Not by changing the grimace of your face or the way you choose your dialect , but with your body as your most important instrument.

He shows you how to make the translation of material to your body, so you can play a carrot!! …If you ever want to?! Or how about to play the letter ‘e’?!

Eric tries to hand over several handles which you can use to build the character that fits you in any kind of performance. Even if you don’t have the ambition to climb the stage it can be interesting to become more aware of your own presence in real life.

Who’s Eric Koller?

Eric Koller is a Dutch comedian for fourteen years now. He is specialized in visual comedy. And his distinction is that he doesn’t need many words on stage. Both in his own country and abroad, he won several prices.

His work is influenced by the classical slapstick. Also by two Dutch performers/comedians; ‘Waardenberg and de Jong’, who were theatrical active in the 90’s. They had a great sense of visual poetry, mixed with a sharp edge of disrupting. The ‘Umbilical Brothers’ resemble his work.

Eric studied theatre in the drama school of Utrecht, Holland. He was teached by Nader Farman (Switzerland - clown), and Luuk deSmet (Belgium - Neutral mask)
