Bouffon: The Anti-clown: Two Day Workshop
Presented by The Arts Platform and Rock Surfers Theatre Company

In the world of Bouffon, the audience is the joke. Bouffons show no vulnerability. Their great joy is to parody the audience, its values and flaws.

This pack of grotesque outsiders engage and parody the audience with great joy, intelligence and charm. To play as Bouffon is to celebrate paradox! They are disgusting, yet beautiful. They hate you, yet they flatter you. The Bouffons are the ultimate manipulators! A joke— told by a nightmare.

A ferocious social satire is about to explode, liberating the energy in the room with an immense pleasure to parody and to play. In this workshop, participants will explore:

Connecting with the audience, Parodying societal maladies and hypocrisy,
Creating complex physical characters, Playing upon contrasts of theme and rhythm, Being 100 % present and captivating.

When: March 1st & 2nd (Two day intensive)
Times: 10.30am-3.00pm
Where: Arts Platform Alexandria (46 Birmingham St)
Cost: $250 for the two days
