with Vivian Gladwell and Angela Hopkins
Course run in English
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 for overcoming the fears that block us from being fully present in the “Here and Now.” This course establishes the ground for all our work and is an essential first step before going on to more advanced courses.
The group is limited to 12

Angela Hopkins
Angela was born and grew up in Bristol, England. Always living and working in a creative environment she has always been fascinated by clowning. Many years of clowning experience with groups in Italy, Germany and the U.K with small scale public performances have enabled her to come to an understanding of the work with Nose to Nose. Angela´s background is Steiner education; a holistic view of the individual influences her work. As a mother of four children, after building up a centre with agricultural features for children and young people with special needs in a South German community, Angela now works as a foreign language teacher in Potsdam and is bilingual.

Clown 1- Mut zum Sein
Das englische Wort “courage” entstammt dem Wort ” cor ” (Herz). Wenn wir an unseren inneren Clown und an unsere Spielfreude anknüpfen, können wir sowohl in uns selbst als auch in anderen Menschen den Mut (das Herz) dazu entwickeln und die Fähigkeit erlangen, zu sein, wer wir wirklich sind, das Leben und uns selbst zu vertrauen. Clowning lädt dazu ein, die Ängste, die sich uns in den Weg stellen, zu überwinden, um im Hier und Jetzt präsent zu sein. Dieses ist eine Herzensangelegenheit und bedarf Mut. Das ist es, was der Clown uns über das tägliche Leben lehrt! Diese erste Stufe “Clown 1 –courage to be“ legt den Boden für Clowning und und ist ein wichtiger erster Schritt vor fortgeschrittene Workshops.
Wir arbeiten in einer Gruppe mit nicht mehr als 12 Teilnehmern. Wir beginnen uns mit Spielen sowie mit Stimm- und Körperübungen aufzuwärmen. Wir fahren mit Improvisationen auf einer Bühne (alleine oder mit anderen) fort. Jede Improvisation wird nachbesprochen, um die positiven und wichtigen Aspekte unseres Clowns und wie er mit uns lebt, hervorzuholen. Dies alles geschieht behutsam und respektvoll für den Einzelnen, innerhalb eines Rahmens von Regeln, die ein sicheres und schützendes Umfeld bieten.
