The Process | We began from a simple place: five female clowns of the silent film era. The company did extensive research on these women and their world, and shared that research with each other. From there we worked in three devising processes: clowning, improvisation, and The Tectonic Theater Project's "Moment Work," which stresses using of theatrical elements before performer, text, and narrative to tell a story. And we attempted to fuse the natural dance and physical comedy skills of the company, to create a new kind of kinetic performance experience.
