CLOWN, COMMUNITY AND CONSTELLATIONS

Emerson Village, Forest Row, East Sussex
Monday 18 October to Friday 22 October 2010

Facilitators: Vivian Gladwell and Sharon Usher
with Judith Hemming on 21-22 October

Wherever we go and whether we know it or not, we are carrying stories, about family and friends, about relationships at work and in our community. Sometimes one or more of these stories get stuck. Constellations offers a simple and beautiful way of un-sticking some of our stories – through the very simple use of space and observation.

By being present, playful and connected to ourselves, we unravel our relationships to others.

This course offers a space to play and explore our stories about family and friends, about relationships at work and in our community.

Judith Hemming from www.movingconstellations.com will join us for 2 out of the 5 days. Together we will research what voices can be given to the clown within the work of systemic constellations.

What the course offers
You will be introduced to the principles of systemic constellations and to clowning. We will witness how stories emerge in the living spaces between actors and audience, how the clown offers a redemptive quality and how constellations can address our stories safely and personally.

Both clowning and constellations invite us to enter the unknown, to connect to the world with our emotions and to explore what it means to be human. We unravel the sense of our relationships to others simply through being present, playful and connected to ourselves.
The course offers a space to play and explore your stories – lightly, playfully and with depth.
