THE
COURAGE TO BE - Clown level 1
A series of 3 weekends in Oxford
19/20 Feb, 19/20 March and 16/17 April 2011
The word ‘courage’ comes from a root that means ‘heart’.
Through clowning and connecting to our playful spirit we can develop
and sustain, in ourselves and each other, the heart to be who we
truly are, to trust life and ourselves. ‘Taking heart’
is a profoundly inward process, and an invitation to overcome the
fears that block us from being fully present in the here and now.
The first weekend can stand alone as an introduction to clowning,
however priority booking will be given to those wishing to take
the whole course of three weekends.
The full course establishes the ground for all our work and is an
essential first step before going on to more advanced courses.
The work, and the group, will build over the three weekends, ending
with an opportunity to establish a local and ongoing practice group
for the remainder of the year.
The group size is limited to 12.
Facilitator: Sharon Usher.
Sharon has been teaching with Nose to Nose for over 10 years and
is keen to establish an Oxford based ‘clowning community of
practice’ to support peer development in the clowning work
and to create opportunities for performance and social clowning
in the area.

all 3 weekends if booked with deposit by January 14th 2011
