Bouffon Intensive Lab

Here's your chance to vomit glitter on all that is disturbing in the world

---

Plunge into the madness of mockery with the highly visual parade of the fantastic and grotesque.

This rigorous physical lab will guide you through games and ambitious improvisations that promise to invigorate and encourage you to play, and find a firm platform to satirise the 'madness du jour'.

You will connect your imagination and heart with the deeply surreal and bizarre unravelling a profound humanity. 

​Main areas of discovery:

• Mockery & Mimicry: Finding the game and the pleasure of playing it to its edge
• Exploration of the Bouffon Territories: The Grotesque, Fantastic and Mysterious.
• Bouffonesque Body: Creating a grotesque body and the gang with objects and materials 
• Power & Madness: Discovery of parody threshold and audience anarchist-entertainer relationship.
• Performance: Play with the great texts and devise short ensemble-made bouffon pieces
