🎭 Mockery Playground: Experiments in Collective Chaos.
2-day workshop with Daniel Orrantía
Wednesday 17 & Thursday 18 December
6:00–9:00 PM
Auckland CBD (get in touch to find out about the exact location)
Step into a playground of mockery, movement, and mischievous creation. In this high-energy workshop, we will dive into Bouffon and other dynamic forms of theatrical play, exploring how a group can think, move, and create as a single, pulsating organism. Through a series of physical, improvisational, and ensemble-driven exercises, we will tune into collective impulses, amplify shared rhythms, and push ideas until they bubble over into grotesque, ecstatic, and unexpected theatrical forms. This is not about control—it's about surrendering to the game, embracing absurdity, and discovering how collective energy can shape and distort theatrical material in real-time.
