DANCE MARK
After working with the great, Bessie award-winning Doug Elkins and Friends’ Fraulein Maria, Mark performed and took on the road a brand new piece of Mr. Elkins. The show Hapless Bizarre is a company of dancers, actors and clowns who come together to explore the sharp intersection between physical comedy, choreography, flirtation and romance.
