Band Practice: Quest to the Midwest
Performance|US tour by Berlin-based experimental theater duo

- Part of series: Among Friends: Over Bridges
Band Practice is a theatre-making duo made of Ash Willison and Lisa Ullrich. They create shows, characters, and theatrical happenings exploring and stretching the live experience of performance.
Strange, cheeky, and wonderfully modern, Band Practice uses elements of clown, physical theatre, improv, and music to interact with audiences through all the ways you love: tech conferences, bardic serenades, exorcisms, and musical theatre showcases, to name a few.
Drat! LOVE has been ripping up the streets leaving people wounded, broken, confused, and perhaps with a bad haircut and useless evidence of its nefarious behavior. You are invited to join the investigation to find love and catch it once and for all. Band Practice combines a real live dating show with a real live clown detective show to find out the true nature of this mysterious mastermind. Highly interactive and slightly chaotic, leave the apps at home and expect to meet new eligibles as we collect clues, hear eyewitness accounts, go undercover, and hopefully set some traps to catch the damn thing. With a villain this cunning at large, no one should search for it alone! This show is welcome to anyone looking for love, OR anyone interested in questioning its true nature. This is a two hour show with an intermission included.
Don’t Be Scared
Don’t Be Scared is an interactive clown show about being scared of the dark.
For what is the function of comedy if not to bring light in the dark? Together with the audience, Stacey and Unter Günther explore the allure and danger of fear through a collage of song, poetry, and epic dance numbers, uncovering their own innermost fears and memories along the way. By teetering on the edge of innocence, sanity, friendship, and humor, they explore a new form of clown, the antithesis of the happy-go-lucky colorful archetype that scares everyone anyway.
