INTER-CULTURAL CLOWNING IN SENEGAL
2-11 January 2014
Casamance, South Senegal, West Africa
Join us for this pioneering course in Senegal and experience
West African culture, music and dance. A 10-day workshop to cultivate
links with the local culture through performance in the local village
or school.
Held on the seafront in lush Casamance in southern Senegal, between
rice fields and the beach. Our workshop space is a round house,
simple but comfortable and beautiful, surrounded by a ten-acre grounds
with trees and vegetable garden. We only work in the morning leaving
you free to visit the region or go swimming at the beach in the
afternoon. At night you fall asleep to the sound of the sea, and
in the morning you wake to the sound of birds in the bush - or a
rooster. It takes five minutes to walk to the beach. Here you will
experience an Africa you will never forget.
This 10-day workshop offers an exploration of our cultural differences
around laughter and play, and the clown as expressed in African
and Western culture.
Last year six participants from Senegal joined our group from Europe
and the North America.
Spaces are strictly limited to 8 from the West, so early booking
is recommended!
