Tim Reid is a writer, performer, and inconstant collaborator. His dissertation project, The Buoyancy of Clowns, asks how it is that clowns get back up. It puts performance theory into conversation with writings on humor to follow a European lineage into the United States, focusing especially on the last twenty-five years. His plays and performance work have been presented widely. He was an ensemble member with The Neo-Futurists (Chicago) and Gawdafful National Theater (Los Angeles), among others. He has a BA from the University of Chicago and an MFA from CalArts.
