Why do we laugh, what makes us laugh and what happens to the body when we do laugh? In this dissection of laughter from everyday life, The Art of Laughter is a unique soliloquy presented by Jos Houben. Alone on stage, Houben presents a philosophical treatise and an anthropological study on the construct of laughter. This show illuminates the ideology of laughter, exploring dynamics, causes and effects of this natural human instinct. This is a show of introduction and education, demonstrating the format of a seminar or masterclass. Within this production, Houben introduces you to conventions, comedy and bodily functions, associated with laughter, and believe me you wont stop laughing!
Today marks the beginning of a month long celebration of all things Circus, Film, Visual Theatre, Physical Theatre and Puppetry. The London International Mime Festival has been championing leading voices in a range of theatrical disciplines for 4 decades now, and shows no signs of slowing down. A total of 18 shows promise to surprise, inspire and bring a sense of daring with their individual perspectives on the world. Theatrefullstop were able to speak with Joint Artistic Director of Ockham’s Razor, Charlotte Mooney who will be presenting Tipping Point at this year’s festival about the festival’s importance within the theatre world, how Tipping Point was created and the audience’s reactions to the show so far!
