Humanitarian Clowning
with Clowns Without Borders UK
A three day workshop in trauma informed practice and Humanitarian Clowning
Join Clowns Without Borders UK for a joyful and thoughtful exploration of our unique approach to clowning for humanitarian and community settings.
Become a more effective, adaptive and resilient practitioner by transforming your arts-led practice so it is trauma-informed. We will explore the basis of trauma-informed practice, drawing on Clowns Without Borders’ years of experience in crisis zones, to explore how strength, hope and resilience can be built in the most adverse of conditions using humour and play.
This workshop is suitable for those with or without clowning and performance experience. It is for anyone with interest or experience in community arts practice or who work with people in complex settings. Join us to:
The space will be safely led by experienced facilitators with first hand understanding of clowning in humanitarian settings. WHAT PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS OF CWB UK'S WORKSHOPS HAVE SAID:
