Clown Rules

These are from my work with Mump and Smoot and I think apply to all kinds of performance, as to Life.

Up and Out
Get Yourself Off
Care Enough not to Care
Be Honest
Have Fun
More, More, More
Take us into your World and bring us back with a new awareness
make contact
present yourself
ride the wave
physicalize
be zany
listen to us(the audience)
listen to yourself
impulse six
surprise us
surprise yourself
drop the script-you can always go back
know when to leave
keep the audience safe
keep the conversation going
breathe
go for the unknown
play with rhythm
trust
believe
break the rules!
