Trailer and Installation Video


The Great Game is an ongoing research project to create a site and context specific performance game
for any venue (theater, blackbox, museum, house, school, park…).

Using The Art of the Fool as inspiration, The Company of trained Players performs as experts of the game. They use a combination of choreographed sequences that include spontaneous
improvisations as well as rehearsed pieces to “play”.

Performances an last from 2 -6 hours or extend over a weekend. The audience is provided with a rulebook and invited to join the game, coming and going as they wish.

the Kingdom of Fools, 2015/
Performance Exhibit Trailer


For this project, I taught two master pool seminars through the Art institute at the College of Art and design where I was studying. I led other students through a reading of Friedrich Schiller’s letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man and practical exercises in The Art of the Fool, a performative art that I am evolving that focuses on the development of imaginative and creative capacities in individuals and groups. The Art of the Fool works with play, performance and practical consciousness studies within a theoretical context that values absurdity and intelligent naiveté.

“Can art create a presence and hope of light that is experienced in between – object and observer, self an other, time and space, absurdity and reason? Can it contribute to inner freedom, understanding, joy… honest compassion? Out of such questions The Kingdom of Fools came into being.”
