Have you ever wished a Court Jester could lighten up your meetings,
business events or conferences?
One or two members of our team come as your guests (not as clowns)
to listen and observe and at agreed moments we "review"
and clown everything we've witnessed, much as Court Jesters did
in the Middle Ages. Each "review" lasts around 10-15 minutes.
By bringing a moment of cheekiness, impertinence and gentle chaos,
we break through the social and institutional conventions and fears
that weigh down communication. The effect of our work is to bring
people to talk to each other and to look at shared issues in new
and creative ways.
If you are curious about our Court Jester work email Nose
to Nose and we will gladly tell you more.

Nose to Nose at Nowhere conference
Social Clowning at a 'Creative Dialogue' organised
by the Nowhere Academy in London in September 2010. The Creative
Dialogues bring together business leaders and organisational practitioners
in innovative and participatory ways to examine together leading
edge issues for today's organisations and for society. This particular
dialogue focussed on 'Unleashing the Creative Power of Teams'. Sharon
Usher and Vivian Gladwell of Nose to Nose attended the day as participants
and then came on as clowns to improvise with some of the material
of the day. Here is a flavour of the day!
