Clown and Buffon with Keland ScherKeland does not have a personal website but here is a link to the show he is directing in Chicago: http://www.redtapetheatre.org/ November 23rd – 26th ● 10am – 4pmKeland Scher has been teaching and performing for 10 years and recently completed two years as a full time Assistant Professor in Theatre and Movement in Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. By reconnecting with developmental patterns formed in childhood, combined with the innocence and pleasure of the clown nose along with the buffoon body mask, the artist learns there is comfort and joy in openly giving and receiving during performance. We allow our artist the freedom to find joy in the unknown. Playing in the unknown is how the magical, fantastic space between audience and artist is created.
