Nobody is perfect!

Maria Pavlidi, educator
Language Greek

 

Has it happened to you? To start something with optimism and absolute certainty for its good outcome and finally see it all go down the drain; to see it fail completely. And then what do we do? We usually feel blue and blame ourselves. At the CLOWN workshop we learn to find our not perfect self, to make peace with our failing. We learn to love this self and make others love us for what we are: "failure", "a dummy".

The clown never loses his/her courage and the purpose is always to gain a few more moments with the audience, no matter who they are: mom, dad, friend or spectators in a theater. The clown is lovable and generous, because he/she dares to "make a fool of himself/herself" to make others laugh, even if he/she is sad. Be careful! He/she never loses his/her dignity! In a society that wants us smart, fast, capable and successful, the clown pushes stops to create chaos. 

Through team building games and improvisations everyone will find their own clown and together we will create unforgettable moments!

Essential elements for your attendance at the workshop: Comfortable clothes and shoes and a lot of enthusiasm!
