At the moment we are not sure if there is enough demand to run this extra workshop. A different date may be arranged if there is sufficient demand. *If this workshop is interesting for you or your students, please contact us on this email address: [log in to unmask]* More details on Red Bastard aka Eric Davis and a link to his show can be found below: *WORKSHOP INFO* In the world of Bouffon, the audience is the joke. Bouffons show no vulnerability. Their great joy is to parody the audience, its values and flaws. This pack of grotesque outsiders engage and parody the audience with great joy, intelligence and charm. To play as Bouffon is to celebrate paradox! They are disgusting, yet beautiful. They hate you, yet they flatter you. The Bouffons are the ultimate manipulators! A joke— told by a nightmare. A ferocious social satire is about to explode, liberating the energy in the room with an immense pleasure to parody and to play. In this workshop, participants will explore: - Connecting with the audience - Parodying societal maladies and hypocrisy - Creating complex physical characters - Playing upon contrasts of theme and rhythm - Being 100 % present and captivating *SHOW INFO* Friday 4th October, 8pm Brady Arts Centre, 192-196 Hanbury St London E1 5HU Tickets £12/£10 available through www.Adamotions.com RED BASTARD is a Dangerous, Seductive Comedy Monster.
