Clown Research Project: The Blue Man Group!

I was always a little freaked out by the Blue Man Group (kind of sounds like an homage to human!) They always kind of scared me because they are essentially clowns! And for me, traditional whiteface miming clowns will always be creepy.

The group was started around 1991 by recent college graduates that were really good friends. They wanted to create a performance that was experiental and  thus the group was formed. The Blue Man group tells a story without really following a specific plot, and they tell this story non verbally of course.

The Blue Man was made to help humans view things in a different light. The Blue man is always exploring and questioning everything. This creative innovative group inspires audiences to think outside the box with their performances. Everything is a new experience for the Blue man.

They give us new perspective and are said to be foreigners to our culture which helps us see things from a different light. While the performances are not all the same, the overall message of each performance, the mission statement of the Blue Man group if you will, is to create a sense humanity, being alive!
