    CLOWNING! Workshop with Rita Baptista www.clowning-anamuh.confetti.events Thessaloniki, 19-20 January 2019 Clowning is a state of playfulness that invites us to re-discover the child that lives in our hearts. Our clown is us without social masks and without the fear of failing and being vulnerable. The clown is genuine and naïve and exists to make people happier. This approach to clowning is not a technique but a personal journey towards finding one’s own unique way of being a clown, by daring to laugh and saying “yes” to every new challenge. It is only when we stop worrying about being ridiculous that we [...]

On small stages and on counters used for the market, the buffoons gave a show. In the beginning they were alone, there were no companies. Every "buffoon-actor" was only on stage and talked about the needs of the audience, to become their expression in a continuous confrontation with everyday [...]
