silliness as a gift
In a society where people in suits with stiff bodies are seen as the epitome of success, we explore the power of silliness.
What happens when we move beyond narrow categories of “right” and “wrong” and proper etiquette? How can being relaxed and letting go of norms empower and strengthen us? What potential do laughter and humor hold, and what new perspectives do these elements bring to our lives? What role do humor, silliness, and fun play in our joy for life and resilience?
We play, improvise and experiment with full-body engagement and vocabulary. Through exchange, we explore the societal norms and boundaries of seriousness. We also explore the limits of humor: When does laughter bring relief to situations and create more connection in a shared space, and when can it reach a point of discomfort?
We venture into uncharted territory, trying out physical exercises and improvisational games.
Oh yeah! Let’s play!
