JUNE 1 to 6, 2025
6 day residential – taught in English and Italian.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course offers the opportunity for five English speaking participants (previously from Germany, UK and the US) to join five Italian participants to explore and celebrate their cultural differences through clowning. Expect good food, human warmth, laughter and late nights. The playfulness and authenticity of clowning offers a safe and fun way to meet with what is new and unfamiliar in our lives. Discover aspects of Italian life and culture which no travelling or tourism could offer.
This course is highly recommended to people with or without experience. The experience of working in Italy makes it unlike any other clown courses – and many keep coming back year after year. The workshop is set in Bologna’s hillsides in the beautiful region of Emilia Romagna.
The course is limited to 10 people
FACILITATORS: Vivian Gladwell – Christine Macri
THE VENUE
The venue is 27 km south of the city of Bologna and about 28 minutes by car from Bologna’s airport (Guglielmo Marconi), and trains commute from the city center to the nearby city of Sasso Maconi every 30 minutes. Immersed in a mediaeval village with a panoramic view of Bologna’s rolling hillsides. Known for its setting and for its hospitality, the center is ideal for rest relaxation and artistic activities such as reunions and other retreats.
