INTER-CULTURAL CLOWNING IN SENEGAL
2-6th January 2012
Casamance, South Senegal, West Africa
Join us for this pioneering course in Senegal and experience
West African culture, music and dance. A 5-day workshop to cultivate
links with the local culture through performance in the local village
or school.
Held on the seafront in lush Casamance in southern Senegal, between
rice fields and the beach. Our workshop space is a round house,
simple but comfortable and beautiful, surrounded by a ten-acre grounds
with trees and vegetable garden. At night you fall asleep to the
sound of the sea, and in the morning you wake to the sound of birds
in the bush - or a rooster. It takes five minutes to walk to the
beach. Here you will experience an Africa you will never forget.
This 5-day workshop offers an exploration of our cultural differences
around laughter and play, and the clown as expressed in African
and Western culture.
We are hoping that participants from Senegal will join our group
from Europe and the USA.
Spaces are strictly limited to 8 from the West, so early booking
is recommended!
