Clowns look for the love of the audience.
Bouffons don’t give a shit.
A Bouffon Cabaret Scratch Night
Welcome to the Dark Side...
Bouffons... the lowest of the low. With nothing to lose, they are completely free.
Social misfits shunned and feared for their apparent physical, mental or social ‘deformities’. They rise from the gutter, embrace their ugliness and bless their hideous form for saving them from the hypocrisy of ‘God’s beautiful children.
Their only fear is to be killed before their parody has hit home…
Seeking performers of all kinds with ideas to explore in the mysterious, sacred, political and profane territory of Bouffon... Freedom, Laughter, Intelligence, Taboo.
We are seeking acts of up to 10 minutes in length to be part of Bouffon Scratchings, an evening of weird and wonderful mayhem on October 28th, 2017, at Assembly Roxy.
Applications from individuals or groups.
Each act will receive a £150 stipend, a small budget for props and be given development time in the month prior to the performance.
To apply please send a 1 page PDF with your name and contact details, your experience (including any links/websites), your idea and approximate length of your piece.
Email all applications to [email protected]
Application deadline is 5 pm on 8 September 2017.
Auditions will be on 16 September 2017.
