FAQ
What is a clownesque, physical comedy?
Contemporary clown is a theatre genre that mines the messiness of the human experience for comedy and drama. It encourages the performer to share their playfulness, imagination and ridiculousness with the audience in pursuit of laughter. Clown emphasizes creating rapport with the audience and embracing the risk and aliveness of live performance :)
Is there audience participation?
Yes! There are a few moments of audience participation. They are opt-in, consent-based opportunities for the audience to play a small part in the show if they wish!
