Spring 2010 Two-Day Workshop
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.
