The Clown Inside Out. An exploration into the world of clowns from a practitioner’s perspective

Abstract

With my experience of more than twenty years as a professional clown, I took my spade of knowledge to go deep down below into the mud of ideas and prejudices about the clown. I wanted to shed light, clear out weeds and years of abuse and bad reputation and make way for some new insights. To articulate the tools of a clown in action, give focus to the logic and water the magic of the clown. This artistic exploration is about the clown, about me and my clown. About the two of us in relation to the world. It is the story about the voyage we went on together, an odyssey in search of the mission of the contemporary clown. Founding that the way of the clown can be a way of managing the existential restlessness that haunts human beings. I hope you enjoy the trip.
