I took the day off today to support Amanda at the hospital. Thankfully all is well.
But never fear! Today's guest blog post is from the fantastic Vicky!!!

Today Mr. Hit was very funny, the people had a lot of fun to be silly and trying to distract the others, so they'd get kicked out of the game. Duncan for example would jump on you, when you' d say his name. We played until 17:30, one hour!
First exercise: Two men.
One plays Gabi (Angel Gabriel) who comes to tell Mary that she was chosen by god to be the mother of Jesus, without fucking him though. She has to go to the sperm bank. Fighting scene - for the fun!
For sure it's to blaspheme: Holy spirit, virgin Mary, sperm bank.
Ben put a blue curtain around his head, so it looks more like virgin Mary. "You can add things to your costume, if it is to make more clear what you play. But it can' t destroy your actual Bouffon costume."
Marc and Ben (Gabi and Mary): We don' t understand what you do. Your Bouffon has to find a way, to be a pimp, a guy who gossips. They tried some things, it didn't really work. In the end they immitated Samantha. Both! (They had to choose the best idiot of the class...)
Virgin Mary in this case: Parody of a woman who is bored with Joseph, with everything. So she is waiting for a good fuck.
Yuichi: A Parody of a Buddhist monk. No! Didn't work, not enough fun with the movement, the voice, etc.
In Japan in front of the shops, they meet 30 minutes before they'd open them and the boss tells his workers what is going to happen during the day. They discuss and it is totally ridiculous. He immitated them and it was really funny. Then Philippe asked him to show his teeth more. To talk through his teeth. Then through the text of the people in front of the shop change to the text of "I must be sick." Then he immitated an american soldier who is stationed somewhere in Japan.
"This one is good when we see your face." Yuichi had a very good moment, the scene was very shocking. Two people of the class held his arms and carried him around the room while he was saying the text. Very impressive and good feedback from Philippe: "Like this he is splendid. It's fantastic. This guy has to tell something. We shut up. We see a beautiful humanity, we see he suffers."
"We have to show the best of people humiliated."
"Next week you will see, the transition won't be easy from the Bouffon middle age to Bouffon of nowadays."
"So, see you tomorrow, with a lot of pleasure. Big or small pleasure, up to you."
Class was a bit slow, people are still scared and not free.
