Spoken Word: Joygernaut

Joygernaut incorporates eighteen months of research into the psychology, sociology and biology of kindness, along with stories of kindness gathered from across the country.



This unique spoken word play uses physical theatre, comedy and even origami to explore how individual acts of kindness and cruelty can gain momentum over time, offering an alternative outlook on the pursuit of happiness.
