Do not miss out on the fear of missing out
Do you ever experience the feeling of missing out? Maybe the Fringe makes you confused – where to go, what to choose with so many options? You could only do the last week of Fringe but you maybe missed better things before?
Or you need to leave and you are worried you will be missing out on the final weekend fun? Worry not!
Dr King of More is here to help!
Come to our #FOMO Clinic* – a fun, immersive, theatre solo show and quasi-workshop where you will learn about the magical concept of #JOLIF through knowledge sharing, dance, audience participation and individual tips. With #FOMO Clinic you will realise you are always in the right place and your party is where you’re at.
*What does Dolly Parton have to do with FOMO? Come and find out.
#FOMO Clinic is a piece that explores the concept of fear of missing out through a fun and feel good combination of immersive theatre, workshop, quasi-lecture and audience participation, while learning how to deal with the fear of missing out (using a running theme of Dolly Parton). The main performer is a Dr King of More who launches into an academic presentation of the aspects of fear of missing out, its reasons as well as audience confessions/diagnostics.
But the presentation quickly proves to be more than what it seems as the performer introduces the alternative concept of the ‘joy of letting it flourish’ #JOLIF through music and dance. The audience gets to ask questions or take part in individual on stage clinics.
The piece is rooted both in actual research on the phenomenon of FOMO and humour, where the boundaries between academic input, comedy and audience interaction are blurred. The piece for performed in the Tramshed Found Arts Festival, London in 2022 and in the Palace Residency, Poland in 2021, as well as several time as an online event.
Audience feedback:
‘I feel like I am a happier person after this show’
‘That was so precious. Thank you Doctor!’
