STAND UP AND CLOWN

Patrick Michael Ballard

Episode Summary

FINAL SHOW OF 2022! Jim and Chad speak with Patrick Michael Ballard, a visiting professor at UC Santa Cruz who describes himself as “a Los Angeles based artist and fool-magician that primarily orchestrates secrets and surprises in immersive theater and interactive sculpture games.” One of our favorite conversations of the series so far; a deep dive into the philosophical elements of clown work, creating realities and our relationship with the audience. Tons of wonderful nuggets of madness and wisdom! Check the liner notes for more info on our guest and your hosts! And remember to REVIEW AND SUBSCRIBE!
