Bouffon

The bouffon live at the periphery of society, true messengers for our times, never asking for the love of the audience, only to survive and to flash a mirror before us. The darker side of our psyche, a true side, is developed through physical manipulations and grotesque forms.

Through this, the psychology of the outcast is explored

Joey and Auguste

Joey & Auguste is the continued exploration and expansion of the six masks created in Clown through Mask, allowing you to discover the extreme nature of the clown.

In this course, you will be working with other clowns on stage – developing relationships based on the archetypes of the ultimate victim, the ultimate manipulator, and the composites that lie in between these two extremes.

We will also begin to work with voice and text. (Pre-requisite: Clown through Mask)
