Come and discover your INNER CLOWN - In the spirit of Artivism (art and action for social and spiritual transformation)! In an intimate groups of no more than 12 we will do very basic and deep work with the Clown within, developing presence, authenticity, emptiness and listening. By having the courage to be vulnerable with one another, we open ourselves up to the possibility of play, laughter and tears. All the while we review and discuss our experiences in order to understand ourselves better.

Starting with warm ups we establish safety in the space and comfort in our bodies. Then we play games that bring light and joy to the exploration of what lives deeply yet spontaneously within. Through this play, we become comfortable sharing ourselves with others and are able to move on to exercises that gently build skills for performance. Finally, with great nurturing and support from the group, we bravely embark upon the magical journey of improvisational performances. Thus the clown within is slowly discovered!

Facilitator Dawn Stratton is a modern day court jester and clown teacher. She is the founder of The Simple Fool School.
