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.

This workshop focuses on audience connection, physical impulse, rhythm, failure, surprise, and the joyful tension between structure and chaos.
Explore larval, full, and expressive mask work through physical preparation, character creation, improvisation, gesture, rhythm, and wordless theatrical play with Johanne Benoit.
