Who is the leader?



This is Wurre Wurre with their dog Boost in 1987 using the clown technique of synchrinosity. That means to try to move at the exact same time in the exact same way. It's a very effective way to create nice clowning. In this case it's hard to tell for me who is the leader, is it the guy on our left, or the dog?


I used it as a game teaching kids clown last week, letting someone who leaves the room guess who is the leader. That was lots of fun. It's not the same as copying eachother like monkeys which oftentimes can feel offending to the one who is been copied. But in this clown exercise you don't make fun of eachother but you try to do the exercise that well that the audience can't guess who is the leader. That's a good energy for clowning.
