📣 Announcement: The Mirror of Laughter - a tell and show🪞👀
I’m doing a tell and show about laughter next week as part of their WTF Thursdays community event series.
Thursday 19 October
7-8:45pm
Free, but booking required
I will share my somatic iteration of Laughter Yoga and some of The Mirror of Laughter author Alexander Kozintsev’s theories about humour and laughter, before performing an improvisation.
This special brew of participatory performance will be new and still bubbling. Expect a tempered exploration of the physiology, effects, and affect, of laughter.
No need to ‘be funny’, feel happy or have Laughter Yoga experience on arrival. A willingness to laugh is a plus but not essential. Exercises can be done seated or standing. You can also participate by spectating throughout if you prefer.
A structure for (invaluable) feedback and concept reflection will be set up at the end.
Have an access need you’d like to discuss or a question about the nature of the event? Feel free to DM or email me.

WTF Thursdays is a new space creating possibilities for community-building amongst artists. Each Thursday, CDS hands over the keys to the building for an artist to host an event in the spirit of low-stakes, DIY action.
