BLUE
…a musical odyssey in the ocean of love
Warnings: mature content, audience participation, not suitable for young children.
Sointula’s Athletic Hall will be swimming in theatrical clown love on June 1st and 2nd, 2024!
First up: BLUE, an interactive solo musical where clown meets the Blues by way of 30's Berlin cabaret with a little detour through Las Vegas, written and performed by Diana Kolpak, on June 1st.
BLUE is a sassy, sophisticated, poignant and rollicking fusion of theatre, cabaret, clown, fortune-
telling and music. Former mermaid turned lounge singer Sally Siren is your guide on this
odyssey, singing her heart out while accompanying herself on her fabulous toy piano. The
audience charts its own course, choosing a playlist from 16 original songs. Sometimes beautiful,
sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious — but always presented with pizzazz — Sally’s
musical numbers reveal love in all its passionate complexity.
Then on Sunday, June 2nd, Ms Kolpak leads Jump Board the Joy Train! - an introduction to clown workshop for adults.
Jump Board the Joy Train! is a 4-hour workshop that introduces the basic concepts of clown as a performance mode and a potent source for creating in any artistic discipline. No previous clowning experience necessary — just a willingness to have fun, laugh and explore how
playing, taking risks and embracing failure can lead to a myriad of creative possibilities.
