Members of the Boston based Hearts and Noses Hospital Clown Troupe are
excited to invite you to an introductory weekend training program in
the art of hospital clowning. Hospital Clowns enter a hospital
environment and use improvisation, magic and joy to transform the
child's world into a space of play and imagination. Within moments,
clowns can bring a child from a sense of helplessness into
empowerment.
Some of what you will learn from our training includes:
- Discovery and development of your clown
- Learning the art of clown world improvisation
- Hospital clown/ patient role-playing
- Empowering the patient
This training program is meant for:
- Hospital clowns wanting more tools on improv-based
child-empowerment clowning
- Child Life specialists and nurses working in hospitals
- Anyone interested in imporov-based hospital clowning
Please note: We believe that hospital clowning for children requires
professional training and supervision. These materials are intended to
serve as a supplement to professional training.
