Carlo Finals Collective Ideas

Three clowns as one

Silloette

Back lit with instruments (the outline of the upright bass)

Textural – the blue tarp – sound, light etc

The flash of the proposal

Jumping up to play for the audience – even if the sun is our only audience member

The idea of the moon and stars

We own the rhelm – we make the sun come up and sunset

Jerome – clown as  a liason between worlds

Rolling on top of the barrel

Acrobatics

Slapstick and skills

Incorperating all of our skills

Bringing the regular world to another level

Play and the silly in anything

Instruments: Kick drum up against a barrel

Proximity – levels – inside a box like inside the workings of a clock – cogs etc-

The difference between the moon and the sun is the push and pull – the sun pushes the radiation onto the world – how does the sun affect us the clowns

The clowns have a responsibility for the world to continue

During the show to create a painting

PITCH

Working Title:    Enter: the sun

Territory:  Clown

Theme:  What happens when three clowns are called to usher in the sun daily?

Synopsis:  Three clowns are given the responsibility of ushering in the sun everyday. Through music they lure the sun out of the darkness. What happens when the music stops? Does it rain? What happens when the sun does not come out. Maybe the clowns are scared of the dark – what happens when they are left in the dark. Mournful existence on the clown plane. When is the clown job over? What happens when the clouds come out – what about a solar eclipse?
