22.01.2022 DENNIS . The Mask makes DENNIS seem almost like an animation, with his facial expression frozen, all of his emotion must be conveyed through the performers body and Bolster perfects the physicality beautifully - stringing the audience along making them laugh or sigh with awkward empathy - (sometimes both at the same time). - Culture Box . .... DENNIS is the moving and heart-warming story of a lonely, loveable and misunderstood character who lives by himself in a small flat. DENNIS has always wanted to fall in love, however, so far, he has never attained it. He has seen what love is supposed to be - on the television, couples holding hands in the streets, the next-door neighbours’ dogs every Sunday morning. However, DENNIS himself has never had a companion until now! . . . www.clintbolster.com . . #masktheatre #physicalactor #clown #comedy #empathy #joy #fun #laughter #play #resilience #love #friendship #connection #heart #nonverbalcommunication #storytelling See more

19.01.2022 Please Share: Artists are not OK right now. Broadway is closed until 2021, Cirque is filing for bankruptcy, Feld laid off 90% of its workforce permanently, cr...uise ship performers are out of work, theme park performers have no idea when they will be recalled, many circuses have closed and musicians concerts and gigs are cancelled. Performing arts organizations of all kinds..choirs, theaters, orchestras, dance companies, dance studios are all trying to figure out on a daily basis how to keep going and employ anyone they can in the field. If you know anyone in the arts industry reach out to them and tell them they matter. Give them a virtual hug and make sure they are taken care of. Donate to arts organizations and keep arts alive. Our hearts and souls need it NOW more than ever. Copied from Christopher Williams on another page. Please keep sharing! #ArtsAreYouOK #ArtsMatter #PerformingArts
