Rachel Weekley is a Non-Binary Clown, Mime and Movement Director based in NYC.
Their work pulls from such traditions as red nose clowning, mask work and mime, along with many others.
Marrying movement to heightened text in the realm of existential comedy,
Their work seeks to explore the joys and freedoms of how we connect and how we fail.
Picturing what a future after failure might look like and asking
"What is the role of a Fool in a world Falling apart?"
