Led by Audrey Crabtree

September 22 & 23rd
10am-4pm

Spend two days embedded in the world of the bouffon! Learn to translate your observations and frustration with society, systems, and stereotypes into playful dynamic theater work. Through pre-table work and physical play you will develop a unique core character from the inside out. Working in packs you will practice the skills, tools and tactics of bouffon and begin to find your endless voice. Come to birth a new character or deepen and existing bouffon. Be prepared to move, play hard, and become ONE OF US!
