Join professional Therapeutic Clowns, Ali Gordon and Alicia Gonzalez to explore the basics of therapeutic clowning.
What is a Therapeutic Clown? The profession of Therapeutic Clowning is an arts‐based practice typically in healthcare settings with children, adults, or elders. It is designed to reduce stress, restore a sense of control and dignity, and celebrate the personhood of each individual regardless of their physical or cognitive limitations. In a healthcare context, this is the basis of person centred care, but for a clown, it is life! While Therapeutic Clowns have a different purpose from clowns who perform in circuses and theatres, they still have much in common, particularly the way in which curiousity, presence and playfulness are central to their work.
