In
memory of Jackie Moore
who died 31 July 2006
Jackie Moore worked mostly in collaboration with Dr. David McGavin
at the Blackthorn Trust Medical Centre in Maidstone where she inspired
many to start clowning. She excelled particularly in performance
and was already fooling around and jestering well before she trained
to teach clowning formally with Nose to Nose. Her perception and
understanding of how people relate to each other gave her performances
a clarity and truth that people recognized and loved.
Last year, Jackie had started collaborating with Paul MacDonald
on an autobiographical one-woman clown show. Below is Dr. David
McGavin's address at Jackie Moore's funeral.
