Introduction to Inner Clowning!
Who: Anyone with a willing heart who is curious to experience this style of clowning… no previous experience necessary. I specialize in working with people who experience more shy, anxious, or depressive ways of being
When: March 18, 2023 from 10 am to 12 pm. Preregistration required.
Where: North Shore Hall, 675 Whitmore Road, Nelson, BC
What: Meditation, movement warm up, and group and duo clown games
Why: To support free expression of the soul, to cultivate self knowledge and levity, to find the absurdity in ourselves and in the difficult, to laugh or cry together.
how: deep clowning is about connection and conversation with self and others, honest expression of authentic impulse and emotion, absurdity, non-doing/being, play, delight, curiosity, and much more.
price: $20 (two subsidized spots available upon request)

Price:
Clowns in the Woods!
What: outdoor collaborative improv play parties.
