Notes

Clint Bolster's impressive career as a Clown, Physical Actor, Mask Theatre Specialist, Stilt Performer, trainer, and Teaching Artist is marked by a wealth of experience and a dedication to the performing arts. Here are some key highlights and roles from his career: Repertoire of Original Performance Works: Clint Bolster has a diverse repertoire of original performance works encompassing different theater and performance aspects. These works are actively performed and include productions by Homunculus Theatre Company, Manoeuvre Roving Stilt Performers, The Mask Family, HIGH TEA with BOOFF, BOLSTER & LEE, and The Lost Balloon. These performances are known for their creativity and engagement with audiences. International Experience: Clint's career has taken him to various parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. His international exposure has allowed him to share his talents and collaborate with artists and organizations from different cultural backgrounds. Global Representation: over 70 international production houses and arts agencies worldwide represent Clint Bolster's work. This broad Representation speaks to the international recognition and appeal of his performances. Cirque Du Soleil: Clint's acceptance into the Cirque Du Soleil database of Clowns is a significant achievement in circus and performance. Cirque Du Soleil is renowned for its high standards and innovation in the circus arts. Slava's Snow Show: Clint's participation in the 2022/2023 Australian Tour of Slava's Snow Show is another noteworthy accomplishment, as Slava's Snow Show is a highly acclaimed and internationally recognized theatrical production. Mentorship and Membership: Clint Bolster's involvement as a mentor for The Media, Entertainment, and Arts Alliance (MEAA) and his position as a proud Queensland Member of MEAA showcase his commitment to supporting and nurturing talent within the arts community. Board Membership: Clint's role as a Board Member for Indel-Ability Arts reflects his dedication to promoting inclusivity and diversity in the arts, advocating for accessibility and opportunities for artists of all backgrounds. Resilience Training Through Laughter: Clint Bolster has developed a program called "Resilience Training Through Laughter," designed to harness the power of humor and laughter as tools for building resilience and coping with life's challenges. This program includes workshops and training sessions that use clowning, physical comedy, and humor as therapeutic techniques to help individuals develop emotional resilience, reduce stress, and enhance their mental well-being. Clint Bolster's career is a testament to his passion for the performing arts and his contributions to the theater community in Australia and on the global stage. His extensive experience, mentorship, and involvement in various organizations highlight his commitment to the arts and his desire to impact the industry positively. ★★★★★ "In an age where clowns reveal our hidden self, Clint Bolster's clown is both sharp and insightful, yet aware of the provocations designed to unlock insights. His clown/s invite us to unite as we focus on the particular, the unusual, and the rare. A great performer, teacher and human, Clint brings all of himself and leaves us with a unique insight about ourselves after seeing the world through the tears and the fears of a clown, which always provokes laughter from places rarely observed in our daily life. BOOFF, like Clint's other clowns, is a masterwork that will leave you feeling uncomfortably settled. In a world of clowns where leadership is no barrier to success, it is good to see the clown within ourselves and invite them into our midst so that we may learn their masterfully mischievous mannerisms. (PS: Clowns learn by observing us.)." Paul Bishop (AUS) ★★★★★ "If you don't have children, find some and take them or simply take yourself – you'll love it!"– Broadway Baby, Edinburgh, "… the audience, children and parents alike, are in constant fits of laughter. At the end of the show, I heard one child ask, 'Can we watch it again?'" Informed Edinburgh, (UK) ★★★★★ "…a friendly version of Jack Nicholson as the Joker leading the way, we laugh, gasp, clap and gape!" Last Minute Live (AUS) ​ ★★★★★ "BOOFF is an absolute dream to work with. Watching BOOFF entertain the full house last night made me (the producer) very proud. Every audience member I spoke to after the show told me how much they enjoyed his bell routine. BOOFF can read a crowd and make them feel better when he's done with them. I guess the standing ovation speaks for itself...." Tom Olive- Producer The Dionysus Cabaret (AUS) ★★★★★ "A hilarious and world-class clowning routine by Clint Bolster called BOOFF & HIS BELLS!" Jason Glenwright, Multi-Award Winning Lighting Designer (AUS) ★★★★★ "As I write my reflection, I am sipping upon a gifted tea as I left the parlour; "A Ceremonial Sample of Finest Loose Leaf tea." And so I am left with an impression of consummate finesse. Every detail is complete, and every element is perfectly manifest. HIGH TEA with BOOFF should be the most coveted invitation of any budding socialites dance card." Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane (AUS) "Clint Bolster's detailed and beguiling performance is sublimely breathtaking." Ian Billings, Award-Winning Comedian & Author (UK) ★★★★★ "Clint Bolster, in the guise of his beautiful clown character BOOFF was sheer magic. A baton, a few bells and audience participation had people rolling in laughter." Barry Stone - Australian Arts Advocate (AUS)
