BIO:
The class is led by wild comedic creator, performance artist, musician, singer and actor, Kym “Hawk” Priess. Her work has been seen on HBO, Amazon and in music venues, galleries, theaters, non-traditional locations, federal prisons in Europe, New York, LA, San Francisco, Honolulu and Austin since the 1990s. It was in NYC in 1997 where she was first introduced to the art of clown by Chris Bayes and that changed her life and art forever. Priess has been described as “critical to the existence of the dragon in you” (ComeHereFloyd) and has earned comparisons to Siouxsie Sioux, Salvador Dali, Laurie Anderson and Joan Jett (LaBuzzBand’s Kevin Bronson). Her adventure rock spectacle project, STUNTDRIVER, has shared stages with many legends including a recent tour with Peaches and her comedic project, Loser Lion Party Bus, performed at Edinburgh Fringe and London this past summer to fun-loving crowds.? She continues to develop it.? Kym feels most alive when she straddles the worlds of physical comedy, clown and rock ’n roll - she doesn’t like to be bound by labels.
