Out With It

About this show

OUT WITH IT (Rough House Puppet Arts) In this wild and lyrical piece of puppetry-infused physical theater, a fastidious clown takes on the forces of chaos. In a collision of found-object puppetry, movement, and clown, Out With It unpacks the rough and tender realities of holding things in and letting things go. Created & Performed by Claire Saxe Co-Directed by Michael Brown Original Music by Lia Kohl Movement Co-Direction by Chih-Jou Cheng Rough House Puppet Arts is on a mission to connect individuals and communities through puppetry-arts, celebrating the weird things that make us unique, and the weirder things that bring us together. Rough House’s work collides puppetry with physical theater, music, visual arts, and an insatiable taste for experimentation. Claire Saxe (Creator/Performer) is a puppeteer, performer, and theater maker driven by work that stretches forms, genres and expectations. As an independent artist and Artistic Director of Rough House Puppet Arts her practice interweaves elements of puppetry and physical theater.
