WHO AM I? WHAT AM I DOING? WHY AM I HERE? – SERIES OF 8 WEEKLY SESSIONS – THEORY, PERSONAL REFLECTIONS AND PRACTICAL GROUP WORK

WITH VIVIAN GLADWELL AND KRISTIN CROWLEY

Each Saturday from 6:00pm – 8:00pm (UK Time) / 1:00pm – 3:00pm (Eastern Time) /
10:00am – 12:00pm (Pacific Time)
From 5 March to 30 April 2022  

An exploration through clowning in eight sessions over nine weeks of  these basic human questions: Who Am I? What Am I Doing? Why Am I Here?

With simple games, exercises and improvisations we will explore these  questions individually and as a community.

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.”

Pre-requisites: There are no pre-requisites for this course. This workshop is open to advanced students and to those with no prior experience of the work.

Facilitators:

Vivian Gladwell

Vivian is the founder and director of Nose to Nose and has given hundreds of workshops around the world. He lives both in the UK and France where he started clowning in 1978. He speaks French and English fluently.

Vivian began teaching in 1988 as part of the Lifeways Festival at Emerson College – UK. He trained as a facilitator with the Bataclown in 1990 and joined their team in 1991 also working as a modern day Court Jester (Clownanalyst).

He created Nose to Nose UK in 1990, Nose to Nose of North America in 2006 and Fool View, the Social Clowning group and has trained facilitators in the UK, the USA, Germany and Italy – view history.
He continues his role as ambassador for the work by researching the applications of clowning in the context of teacher training, medicine, conflict management, ecology and intercultural work in many countries (South Africa, USA, Senegal, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Italy, Germany, Norway…)

He holds clowning as a social playground for exploring our humanity.

Kristin Spaeth Crowley

Kristin did not come to clowning by choice, but was forced into it by wiser others who knew where she belonged. Her work as a clown and facilitator led to the fumbling discovery and recovery of a language she knows inwardly, loves, and could have lost.

Her specialities include weeping, falling in love, making mischief, and the invisible. She is grateful for the inspiration and example of those brilliant, talented, generous people she has been privileged to work with or been touched by – artists, musicians, athletes, educators, poets, seekers, thinkers, healers, and other “ordinary” fearful and courageous spirits willing to risk and dare. She is amazed and astonished by her family; her parents and siblings; her children, and those she has claimed unjustly as her own; by those braver than she, facing the ordinary challenges connected with being alive; and by forgiveness. She is interested in presences and possibilities. She is informed by life and living, by beauty, ugliness, music, laughter, poetry, nature, stillness, cruelty and compassion, by brave souls and tender hearts, by the struggle to realize the impulse that initiated a wish to be, and by the work she has to do. The mistakes she makes, the limitations she must overcome, the struggles she faces in being and becoming, the gifts she has been given, and her sense of wonder, reverence, and gratitude inform and guide her in her work with others. She works with individuals, companies, institutions, agencies, and organizations. She still struggles and falls down.
