Clowning: Hearing humour in music, listening to children’s concerns
Can we laugh about something we don’t hear?
Hardly. Humour must be audible. But where is the humour in what we hear, particularly if what we hear is music? A composer, a music and movement expert and a theatre clown share this question in the latest edition of ‘red nose’.
Supporting children is an art.
Clowning methods can expand the means of education, for instance by showing how to see the positive when things go wrong, how not to experience this as failure and how to create a moment of breathing to realize that parents and children are on the same team.
How a clown creates his or her mask …
… is a question of tradition and self-perception. What is best suited to one’s personality? The cosmetics company Dr Hauschka has explored how their natural products can be used as make-up for Clowns.
This issue of ‘red nose’ is an anniversary edition.
The bilingual PDF magazine (English, German) is the organ of the international working group for clowns within the Section for Performing Art at the Goetheanum.
