Sean McCann and Alan Cox – group bio for The School Of Night

The School Of Night was founded in 2005 by Ken Campbell , and its first appearance was on St George’s Day (and Shakespeare’s Birthday) 2005, on the stage of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, London.

The School have performed in theatres, pubs,  private libraries, ocean liners,  underground train tunnels, graveyards, and fields across this Great Globe – from  the dungeons of Elsinore Castle Denmark to the wilds of Newfoundland.  Wherever there are fellow seekers, the School endeavours to appear.

The School is a group dedicated to the exploration of the arcane, heretical, occult, hermetic, mysterious, kabbalistic, and unorthodox methods of literary extemporisation. Our research takes in the entire history of Western Theatre and Literature, as well as OTHER STUFF.  Sean McCann and Alan Cox has been given leave by their fellow brethren from their scholarly research in London, and are coming to Edmonton to share some of their enlightenment.

The show will feature Alan, Sean, and invited guests, and may well include the following disciplines

• glossolalia
• book-launching
• bardic – tap turning
• enantiodromia
• lipography
• monovocalics
• engastromythicism
• the 100-1 sonnet
• The Big Mouth
• Cohening The Now
• Robert Servicing The Audience
• Homeric Summoning
• Miltonic Ganzfeld Epics
• Real Acting and Proper Acting
• Tie Acting
• Uncle Fred Acting
• Nubbing
• Heart Laughter At One’s Own Fine Self
• Playing The Faces
• Iambickering
• Metaphors and Meta-Fives.

Sean and Alan are humble before the muses, and with the School’s emblematic slippers on their feet, and tea-cosies on their heads, they will attempt to turn on the bardic taps of their colleagues, and PANG THEMSELVES, THEIR GUESTS, AND THE AUDIENCE,  TO THE INFINITUDE OF ABSOLUTE MIND.
