Clowning

Healthcare clowns greatly contribute to the emotional wellbeing of different vulnerable groups. The art of clowning enables the trained artists to support, encourage and connect with the audiences by recognising their needs and exploring their wishes and creativity on an in co-creation processes.

The clown never focuses on what is missing but on what is there. We choose not to reduce anybody to their conditions or circumstances, instead we choose to focus and understand in depth their abilities and powers.
