I WILL LAUGH

Explore an event of verbal amnesty and guaranteed laughter. For this piece I sit in a chair unable to speak and will listen to whoever sits with me. If anyone does, I will listen to what they decide to say and then I will laugh. No matter what is said, I WILL LAUGH.

This is an AMNESTY event. Anybody can say anything to me and it is important that they are not prosecuted for anything they say, and I can’t stress this enough, to me. Come and share a joke you couldn’t normally get away with, come and tell me a problem you don’t want advice for, come and reveal a secret that has never been greeted with laughter.

I don’t mind, I enjoy it! I WILL LAUGH.

Hot off the heels of I WILL LAUGH’s Whangarei Fringe Tour in October 2020, Wellington-based performance artist Sean Burnett Dugdale-Martin brings his work to the Vault at Q Theatre for a Summer At Q season.

Sean honed his skills at the University of Auckland under the teachings of Emma Willis, Tom Bishop, Rina Kim, James Wenley and Murray Edmond. He left the institution with a First In Course award for Drama 301 and headed Welly-way where he completed his undergrad in Mathematics and undertook 16 weeks of clown workshops under international funny-man Fraser Hooper. This piece is inspired by the works of Marina Abramovic, Rachael Longshaw-Park and the people of Aotearoa.
