Awaken the Fool through clown, voice and meditation

The fool’s gift is the ability to be totally awake, as each moment unfolds.  By developing this quality we connect poetically with our surroundings and others, communicate authentically and with compassion, befriend and play with all our emotions and experience more beauty and happiness in every day situations, our work and personal relationships. In bypassing the mind's noise through physical play, and being observant of the flow of feelings-sensations in the body, the workshop puts you in touch with an infinite source of creativity. In clown improvisation you find out that you do not need to be perfect or even good at anything. It is possible to fail successfully over and over again and enjoy it! We can be curious instead of fearful and present instead of thinking worrying and planning. And when we are present life is a joy whatever the circumstances.

Playfully moving between clown, voice and meditation processes, frees the true nature of a person which is often masked by defence mechanisms and unhelpful or negative thought patterns. The focus of the clown work is heart presence rather than slapstick or creating repeatable routines. The voice work and meditation are both used to enhance and deepen the clown in play and improvisation.

The workshop will be taught in is an in English with Norwegian translation when needed.  Awaken the Fool introduces the 1 year course, ‘Way of the Fool.’
