  Clown Therapy Workshop Intensive May 24-26 San Francisco
Posted April 30, 2008


Note: We know San Francisco is a long way, but if you happen to be in the area and interested in the benefits of clowning on physical and emotional health you should know about this workshop. Cyn participated in it last year and highly recommends it.

From the Circus Center San Francisco Website:

Clown Therapy Workshop Weekend Intensive with Paoli Lacy

Saturday May 24, 2-6pm
Sunday May 25, 10-6pm
Monday May 26, 10-1pm

Cost: $170.00
Discounts for AYCO members, Clown Conservatory and Dell 'Arte graduates

Taught by Paoli Lacy, Godmother of Clown Therapy, this workshop will be an experiential, hands-on 2 1/2 day intensive. It will include practical kinesthetic learning of clown therapy techniques along with discussion of the theory and rationales for their use. A holistic approach to meeting psychological and physical challenges, Clown Therapy has been successful with health issues where mind, body, and a sense of humor need to converge. Clown Therapy is noted for serving special needs children at the crossroads of physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and creative arts, with Lucille Ball directing traffic.

All participants will receive a copy of the Clown Therapy Handbook for future reference.
From Paoli:

For the only time this year, Paoli Lacy is offering the Clown Therapy Intensive Workshop on the Memorial Day 3 day weekend. As there have been inquiries from out of town, the schedule will allow traveling Saturday morning and Monday afternoon. There are discounts for Clown Conservatory students and alumni, Dell 'Arte students and alumni, and members of AYCO.

The workshop will be useful to anyone working therapeutically or to anyone teaching with special needs populations, especially children. The workshop will not be offered with less than 5 registered in advance, and will be limited to 10 people. Last year the workshop sold out, so sign up in advance.

Clown Therapy is part of one of the oldest traditions on the planet, that of clowns and healing. A holistic approach to meeting psychological and physical challenges, clown therapy has been successful with health issues where mind, body and a sense of humor need to converge. Clown Therapy is noted for serving people with special needs at the crossroads of creative arts, psychotherapy, occupational, physical, and speech therapies- with Lucille Ball directing traffic.
