In this episode I offer a deeply personal reflection on my journey into the world of clowning, highlighting some pivotal life moments and transformative experiences. Ultimately I aim to demonstrate, through my own story, the symbiotic relationship between personal suffering and artistic process. To do this I discuss some aspects of my childhood, family background, and the unexpected ways personal traits such as sensitivity, fear, and a sense of superiority fueled my clowning persona. I reveal challenges I faced due to emotional volatility and how attending Sue Morrison's clowning workshop helped me harness raw emotions and vulnerability to connect profoundly with audiences. As always I am most interested in the spiritual and humanistic dimensions of clowning, and my belief that anyone willing to openly embrace their imperfections can create powerful artistic expressions that resonate on a deeply human level. >>CLOWN SPIRIT LINKS
