From commedia to cabaret, from Brecht to Bread and Puppet, from the San Francisco Mime Troupe to Extinction Rebellion, the spirit of the clown has driven the popular art of agitprop (agitation and propaganda) for centuries. Forget about comfy theaters and intellectual plays! We’re talking about street disturbance here - broad, crude, and very exciting. In this three-Friday workshop, learn how to grab an audience, craft a message, and drive home your material with comedy, satire, audience engagement, and a whole lot of fun, all in the service of blatantly political ends.
