Praise for A Retrospection
"A frantic and bewildering mash-up of clowning and performance art that is far more accessible and emotional than should be possible." The Wee Review *****
“If the performance artist Marina Abromovic were a clown” The New York Times
"The passion and potency of her performance are mesmerising; such commitment to each absurd bit brilliantly funny." Chortle ****
"A Retrospection is dazzingly deceptive and beneath her enticing puckish grin lies a depth that could doom a mammoth." The Tvolution
"Part clown, part performance artist." The Comics Comic ****
Trailer: A Retrospection Teaser
Testimonials: WTF is A Retrospection
Claire Woolner, LA based absurdist comedian blows hard on the edges of performance art and swims into surrealist clown. Stupid comedic bits, playful performance pieces and authentic breakdowns, make this a work of tragicomedy at its finest.
“A Retrospection is an undeniably odd hour from this fearless American performer – a clown, but one whose nose is only red because it’s been smeared with blood following another primal scream of a scene.” — Chortle
