BOUFFON 2: FLOCKING THEMES


Description:

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?

CLOWN LOOPS: THE PLAN & THE PLAY
Los Angeles





Ready to take your clowning to the next level? Learn the process my former company used to devise completely new 1-hour shows every month.

Before I was on the creation of 2 Cirque du Soleil shows, and Red Bastard, I was part of a company of clowns in New York. During this formative time, we developed a unique devising method. This method not only RAPIDLY evolved the comic relationships of our clowns, but also generated ridiculous solos, duos and group pieces.

Aspiring and seasoned clowns will benefit from this devising process which utilizes:


Mindfulness
Devising Simple Plans
Looping &
Ambushes
