On researching for my job interviews I found Ecole Philippe Gaulier-
“As an actor and a director, I’ve gained so much through learning from him. Philippe is a true master not only because he is capable of seeing the hidden beauty of actors but also his great ability to liberate actors to present these beauties and shine uniquely on stage.” Ecole Philippe Gaulier graduate, Mr Alvin Chiam

Bouffon, an artform which he holds as a sort of inverted Clown, where a balance is struck between grotesqueness and charm.
During these performances, the bouffon's goal was to get away with insulting or disgusting the beautiful people as much as possible. Typically, the bouffon would target their attack on the leaders within the mainstream of society, such as the government or the Roman Catholic Church.
The ideal performance for a bouffon would be one where the audience is wildly entertained, and then go home, realize their lives are meaningless, and commit suicide. This of course is a theoretical ideal instead of an anticipated outcome.

Why is it so easy to enrol?
Why not? Everything is so complicated in France.
Why don’t you hold auditions?
Because the role of the teacher is to change the person, not to judge them.
