Clowning As An Inner Journey: A Series of Three Weekend Workshops with Laura Geilen and Benedicta Bertau
The clown’s nose is the mask that unmasks. Through the clown we can rediscover inner qualities of openness, spontaneity and play. The clown allows our imagination to soar, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. Working with warm-ups, games and on the empty stage, we will find our inner clowns through improvisation, play, staying present and welcoming everything that emerges.
It’s not about routines, tricks or gags. No acting or clowning experience is needed. We invite you on a safe personal journey that lets our challenges become opportunities, our mistakes celebrations, and our confusions states of enlightenment. In clowning we delight in life's paradoxes and remember our natural capacity to be playful and free. We breathe, stop resisting, let go and live more happily (even if haplessly), ever after.
Through connecting to our playful spirit we can develop and sustain, in each other and in ourselves, the heart to be who we truly are.
