Get Your Bouff-on! - Hobart
About
Get your Bouff-on! With Emily GoddardWild, hilarious, powerful and provocative, Bouffon has been used across cultures for centuries. To unite, to ignite, to shout out and be heard. To give a voice to the voiceless, find light in the darkness and to rock, and mock, the status quo. Bouffon is a style of ‘grotesque satire’ in which outcasts mock their oppressors. The mockery is designed to charm the audience while ruthlessly targeting and exposing the hypocrisy and injustices in the culture at large. Made famous through the Lecoq and Gaulier schools, Bouffon training allows us to break free of inhibitions, build complicity and sensitivity with an audience and discover a profoundly greater physical presence and power on stage. This 6 hour masterclass will explore:
-Playfulness and Le Jeu (the game)
-Complicity and ensemble work
-Body masks & the power of disguise
-Creating connection with the audience
-The techniques of parody
-Devising using Bouffon for contemporary theatre.
