Rumps Against Trump: A Tactical Frivolity Act of Defiance
This Presidents’ Day, we take to the streets of the internet with active defiance against the corrupt and oppressive Trump administration. Rumps Against Trump is more than a protest—it’s a declaration that we will not remain silent in the face of corruption, lies, and cruelty.
This is a tactical frivolity action —an act of rebellion so simple, so unfiltered, it demands attention. It’s a way to say, “We will not be ignored,” and a call to boost morale and encourage all of us to use our voices. The administration is trying to suppress us, but this is our way of reclaiming power, one cheek at a time.
Here’s how to take part in this open act of defiance:
1. Take a picture of your butt—unfiltered, unapologetic, and full of defiance. Feel free to write messages on your butt or have a friend help. Or just a bare rump will do!
2. Post it on social media with the hashtag , and tag anyone who needs to feel the power of resistance.
3. Add your message—express your anger, your outrage, your hope, or your call for change. Show the world that we’re not backing down.
Rumps Against Trump is a reminder that resistance doesn’t always have to be serious to be powerful. Sometimes, the most direct way to defy an unjust regime is to stand up, speak out, and literally show the world exactly where we stand. Together, we can turn this small act of defiance into a collective roar—boosting morale, igniting others to speak their truth, and proving that we won’t stop until change is here.

Ahh, the one thing they never taught us in theatre school: HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE AUDIENCE. How do I play with this terrifying monolith of unpredictability?!

The clown's relationship to the audience is at the heart of what makes this theatrical style vibrant and powerful. Audience participation and interaction is rarely focused on in clown training and this element of performance is so valued when well done. Oftentimes audience engagement is under rehearsed because it is hard to simulate. In this workshop we will explore techniques, methodology and practical skills of working with audience participants, creating interactive characters and creating effective gags, games and bits that use the audience as partners in your performance.
Whether you are looking to bolster your strolling characters or get comfortable working with an audience participant in an act/show this introductory workshop will help in finding connection and laughter while working in the audience.

We can't wait to see you there!!!
