Queers Poets Clowns: Satire Beyond Sarcasm w Janice Jo Lee

Combine your writing with clown spirit by infusing the performance with enthusiasm and earnestness. This is a performance style different from sarcasm, which indicates disdain. Through clown technique, performers will learn how to reach audiences’ hearts.
