One Week Intensive: Clown 1-The Courage To Be
June 24-28, Mon-Fri 10am-5pm
At 84 Main St, Philmont, NY
Clowning is a state of playfulness that allows us to experience
a child-like, naïve and
vulnerable state of being ... and paradoxically we learn, grow,
and are strengthened
through reconnecting playfully with what makes us most vulnerable.
This approach to
clowning is not a technique (tricks, gags and routines), but a personal
journey towards
finding one’s unique way of being - by listening and being
receptive, essential skills for
any creative and imaginative endeavor. It is only in letting go
of control that we begin to
be surprised by the depth of that which is around us and within
us.
The word “courage” comes from a root that means “heart.”
Through clowning and
connecting to our naturally playful and creative spirit, we can
develop and sustain,
in ourselves and in each other, the heart to be who we truly are,
to trust life and ourselves.
This 5 day intensive allows a deeper experience of the transformational
clowning
process and establishes the foundation for all our work. It is an
essential first step
before going on to more advanced courses such as Social Clowning
and the Facilitators
Training. Many people return to our workshops repeatedly, as this
state of being
becomes vital to them.
No skills or fitness required. Class size is limited to 12. Sliding
scale fee: $0-700. Advance
registration required. Adults only.
