THE CHUCK CHUCKLES METHOD …

began after an interview with Ms. Versa Williams of Northeast Park Hill. The team was affected by the way in which Ms. Versa relayed her experiences of racism: she laughed. Why do humans beings laugh? What are the benefits of laughing through hard times? What do different laughs communicate to the listener about an experience? The idea of a satire was then hatched to explore laughter, inspired by Ms. Versa’s interview and utilizing some of the actual interview audio recording.
