Members of the Boston based Hearts & Noses Hospital Clown Troupe are excited to invite you to an introductory weekend training program in The Art & Joy 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.
