The World laughs at the Clown, but the Bouffons laugh at the World! Unleash your inner Bouffon in an explosion of fun and comedy gold.

OCT. 21: 6PM- 10PM LOCATION: Thymele Arts. 5481 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90029 In Bouffon 1, you learned the attitudes and drives of Flocking Bouffon: Wild, indulgent, unpredictable mocking. A pleasure-led party where the “The Player” dominates the room. But who’s that knocking at the door? “The Writer!” In Bouffon 2, we build on previous experience by choosing specific themes to mock. As we play these themes, we are watched by our supportive, fellow creators. The devising process has begun as we ask…. How did we play? What did we make? Where does this piece want to go? What are we missing? What does the writer want to say through the bouffon? How might we make it better? CANCELLATION POLICY If you need to cancel for any reason, deposits are not refunded.
