SATURDAY AND SUNDAY OCTOBER 3 & 4 AT 10AM-5PM

The Auguste Roost, 250 Cumberland St, Rochester, NY, 14620

Two-day Intensive

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!

A clown / performance / writing / moving / laughing / loving workshop where we will devise, present, and rework. It’s time to have fun creating bits in record time, not be precious with our work, and trust our own unique sense of play. Get in your head, and THEN get the heck outta it! First part of the workshop is playing and getting into our bodies, the second part is devising and presenting. Learn how to make a fresh and new piece, and then BLOW IT ALL UP and try again.

All levels welcome. Come ready to copy, distort, commit, and play.
