An online 8-week course to explore the art of storytelling through clowning with Vivian Gladwell and Angie Foster.
What insights can clowns bring to the art of storytelling? If the storyteller holds the patterns for the past and the promises of the future, clowns are always at the beginning, knowing nothing and everything, creating the world out of whatever comes their way.
Our hope for this work will be to playfully practice staying present to what is living for us in these challenging times.
The group is limited to 12 participants.
