The Art of Clowning
Et 3-dagers verksted for undervisning, ledelse, sosial empati og kommunikasjon.
Med Vivian Gladwell og Oda Holmvik Bredvold
Dette seminaret er skreddersydd for lærere, sosial- og helsefagarbeidere som ønsker å utvikle sin profesjonelle rolle med humor og medfølelse. Legg ut på en transformativ reise som kombinerer latter, kreativitet og personlig vekst.
Kursbeskrivelse:
Den første dagen vil vi utforske hjertet av klovning gjennom sårbarhet, spontanitet og lek. Med øvelser og improvisasjon lærer vi å omfavne ufullkommenheter og få kontakt med vårt autentiske jeg. Ferdigheter som er avgjørende for å bygge tillit og støtte hos elever, studenter og pasienter.
På dag to vil vi fokusere på hvordan klovning kan være et verktøy i undervisnings- og lederskapssammenheng. Oppdag hvordan humor kan gjøre komplekse emner mer tilgjengelige, fremme kreativitet i klasserommet og inspirere elevene eller teammedlemmene dine.
Dag tre er dedikert til objektarbeid. Gjennom leken med hverdagslige gjenstander vil vi lære å uttrykke følelser og fortelle historier, med fokus på effektiv kommunikasjon i undervisning og helsevesen.
Dette 3-dagers seminaret tilbyr et første skritt i å undersøke hvordan klovning kan informere og forsterke vår kapasitet til å relatere og engasjere oss i en profesjonell og personlig kontekst.
Bli med oss på en leken og gledelig reise med latter og læring.
Kurset holdes på engelsk.
ENGLISH
The Art of Clowning
A 3-Day Workshop for Teaching, Leadership, Social Empathy, and Communication
This seminar is tailored for educators, doctors, and nurses seeking to infuse their professional roles with humour and compassion. Embark on a transformative journey that combines laughter, creativity, and personal growth.
On the first day, we’ll explore the heart of clowning through vulnerability, spontaneity and play. With exercises and improvisation we’ll learn to embrace imperfections and connect with our authentic selves. These skills are essential for teachers and healthcare professionals in building trust and support with students and patients.
On day two, we’ll focus on how clowning can enhance your teaching and leadership abilities. Discover how humour can make complex subjects more accessible, foster creativity in the classroom, and inspire your students or team members.
Day three is dedicated to the power of object work. Through playing with everyday objects, we’ll learn how to express emotions and tell stories, focusing on effective communication in teaching and healthcare.
This 3-day seminar offers a first step into researching how clowning might inform and deepen our capacity for connecting and engaging in a professional and personal context.
Join us for a playful and joyful journey of laughter and learning.
The group is limited to 12

Oda Holmvik Bredvold
Oda has been training to be a facilitator in clowning with Nose to Nose since the fall of 2019. She will end her course in June 2023.
She comes from a background in psychology, theatre, art and scenography, and has held courses in variations and combinations of drama and art in all ages the past decade.
Bredvold believes that in our society today the clown can teach us a great deal about how we communicate with each other, how we hold the questions of not knowing and how we can act into the unknown by just being.
