• How to create a strong moment of connection in just a few minutes?

Please Note: It is recommended that you have prior clown training (for example Clown 1,2 and 3) to get the most benefit from this workshop. 

International trainer with over 35 years of experience as a relational clown.

This introduction will allow us to establish some fundamentals of the art of clowning, play, and connection, particularly focusing on various tools of relational clowning or how to let our clown improvise from the encounter with others.

We will see how to use the tools of relational clowning in order to:

• GENERATE first a state of joy, availability, and curiosity;
• EVOKE the desire to be invited into the universe of the other;
• ESTABLISH non-verbal communication that is playful and emotional.
