Bouffon Week 1:  A Satiric Ensemble of Mocking Madness and Mayhem!
Imagine a wild-eyed pack of Players, ecstatic to mock anything and everything. Ridiculous, confronting and poetic, this Satyric chorus teeters on the seesaw of fun and uncomfortable truth. To begin this journey, we focus on the role of “The Player”. Students will discover the attitude and drives of Bouffons, through: 

• Ensemble play & complicity    
• Chorus work    
• Finding the fun in mocking    
• Non-linear play       
• Investigating dynamics of objects, actions, and roles
