Clowning Around with Jessica Hernandez -- A Third Stage Only Event
Clowning is a state of playfulness that brings us to experience a child-like, naive and vulnerable state of being. Paradoxically we grow, learn and are strengthened through reconnecting playfully with what makes us most vulnerable. The approach to clowning explored during the workshop is not a technique (tricks, gags and routines) but a personal journey towards finding one’s own unique way of being a clown. “*Man only plays when he is in the fullest sense of the word a human being, and he is only fully a human being when he plays.*” (Friedrich Schiller) Jessica Hernandez studied Speech and Drama in Switzerland and England, before training with Vivian Gladwell to become a member of the Nose to Nose facilitators team. Since 2006, Jessica has been working as an actress, storyteller and clowning workshop facilitator, specialising in intercultural clown encounters, as well as clowning courses for teachers, doctors and nurses.
