A workshop for comedians, clowns, artists, and pranksters alike. Bouffon is the physical art of satire, manipulation, and mockery, sometimes referred to as the anti-clown. In this class we reshape ourselves into something new, find ecstasy in mockery, and develop a socially conscience voice. Using exercises in satire, clown, and audience participation, we created dynamic characters to challenge an audience. space is limited.
