A LOSS FOR WORDS - Clown 1
Exploring language & silence
a 5-day introductory course in clowning
April 15-19, 2014 - New York, NY
with Vivian Gladwell and Sarah French
What do language and silence teach us about clowning?
Like the clown’s nose, language can both reveal and mask
us. While silence may enhance the poetry of our physical presence,
it can also inspire misunderstanding.
Together we will navigate the paradoxical spaces between silent
and spoken understanding, ultimately returning to the puzzle of
ourselves, and an endless search for freedom.
This course is open to both beginners and non-beginners. It may
be of special interest to writers, poets, teachers, therapists,
actors, and anyone who hopes to discover more about the role of
play in their lives.
This course establishes the foundation for all our work and is
an essential first step before going on to more advanced courses
such as Social Clowning and the Facilitators Training.
No experience of theater or clowning is required.
