Therapeutic Clown
In therapeutic and health care clowning, the art of clowning is adapted to the specific conditions and needs of individuals in hospital, rehabilitation, palliative or hospice care.
Therapeutic Clown Class
There is a shift from a performance focus, to a focus on patient-centered care and connection.
The clown enters the world of the patient, treating each unique interaction with authentic emotional connection and honesty to help bring laughter and joy to patients.
In this workshop, Jean Saucier, director of Zani’s Clown and Comedy School, will guide students through scenarios that could be encountered in hospitals and other care facilities. His pedagogy builds on his experiences and training with Francine Côté, Pedro Fabião, Olivier Hugues Terreault, Dr Clown Foundation and Patch Adams.
Other Workshops
Initiation to Clown is for anyone who has an interest in the art of clown and who wants to be introduced to Francine Côté’s method, but who has little to no training or professional experience in theatre, circus or dance.
"The king's jesters made the court laugh while spitting out the truths of those days" -Francine Côté
