 THE
COURAGE TO BE - Clown 1
An Introduction to Clowning
with Vivian Gladwell and Sarah French
November 18- 23, 2014
Great Barrington, MA
"Courage" comes from a root that means "heart."
As a state of playfulness, clowning invites us to explore fears
and concerns that stop us from being in the here and now.
Do you feel a bit off balance?
Do you bump into yourself?
Do you feel a little silly?
This is the path of Clown.
When we “let go” enough to re-connect to our playful
spirits, Clown is there to celebrate.
Clowning gives us courage by inviting us to be our simple, naïve,
and vulnerable selves.
Expect to embark on a personal journey toward discovering your unique
way of being clown, through an engagement of curiosity, openness,
listening, and trust.
No previous experience of theater or clowning is required. Those
experienced in acting and clown are also welcome to connect to the
here and now of this approach.
This course 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.
