EMBRACING THE UNEXPECTED - Clown Level 2
with Kristin Crowley
and Vivian Gladwell
March 18 to 22, 2015

This course offers further practice of clowning with
the focus on structure and relationship. The more demanding aspects
of this level come from a need to practice a responsiveness to and
awareness of your partner on stage, your audience and the images,
stories and characters that emerge during improvisation. The teaching
method will emphasize finding greater insights into the techniques
of improvisation and performance, providing challenges and inspiration
enough to take your understanding of this work forward.
The group is limited to 12. Early registration is
advised.
Course fee - $525
Deposit - $180
Times: This course begins Wednesday at 10.00 and
ends Sunday at 13.00
Each day will be from 10.00 to 18.00
FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CLOWN 1
The Courage to Be Workshop was unlike anything I expected. Defenses
I had relied upon for so long, slowly began to peel away. I felt unbearably
vulnerable...and at the same time liberated.
At the end of the week I felt that I had gained something intangible
but very real. And magical.
E. M. from Concord, MA - November 2013
“Thank you for the deep look into what is going on;
in me and around me. Wow”
S.T. from Boston, MA - July 2013
“One of my goals in attending your "Courage to
Be" workshop was to become more spontaneous and less stiff
in my relationships with others. …What a delight! Many thanks.”
P. C. from Lenox, MA - November 2013
“The work was life changing… the exercises were
miraculously simple and profound and effective. I wish the workshop
had been two weeks.”
E. S. from Brookline, MA - November 2013

Spaeth Crowley
Kristin did not come to clowning by choice, but was forced
into it by wiser others who knew where she belonged. Her work
as a clown and facilitator led her to the fumbling discovery
and recovery of a language she knows inwardly, loves, and could
have lost. Her specialties include weeping, falling in love,
making mischief, and the invisible. She is grateful for the
inspiration and example of those brilliant, talented and generous
people she has been privileged to work with or been touched
by - artists, musicians, athletes, educators, poets, seekers,
thinkers, healers, and other “ordinary” fearful and courageous
spirits willing to risk and dare. She is amazed and astonished
by her family, her parents and siblings, her children, and those
she has claimed unjustly as her own; by those braver than she,
facing the ordinary challenges connected with being alive; and
by forgiveness.
She is interested in presences and possibilities.
She is informed by life and living, by beauty, ugliness, music,
laughter, poetry, nature, stillness, cruelty, and compassion,
by brave souls and tender hearts … by the struggle to realize
the impulse that initiated a wish to be, and by the work she
has to do. The mistakes she makes: the limitations she must
overcome; the struggles she faces in being and becoming; the
gifts she has been given; and her sense of wonder, reverence,
and gratitude inform and guide her in her work with others.
She works with individuals, companies, institutions, agencies,
and organizations. She still struggles and falls down.
