Class Description:
Unleash your inner Bouffon in an explosion of fun that turns life’s Sh!t into comedy gold!
How is Bouffon different than Clown? The World laughs at the Clown, but the Bouffon laughs at the World!
Imagine a wild-eyed pack of outsiders. These outsiders have ecstatic pleasure to mock anything and everything. Ridiculous, mischievous, confronting and poetic, these tricksters ride the line between comic fun and uncomfortable truth.
In this class, students will discover the attitude and spirit of the Bouffon through:
- Ensemble play & Complicity
- Choral work
- Finding the fun in becoming and mocking
- Navigating rich thematic territories.
- Discovering hot spots that make the audience say “ouch!"
Come join us. Fun, freedom and mischief await!
