Clown Life Weekend Intensive

July 1st & 2nd 2017, 11-5pm

Clown is not just a performance expression but a philosophy and way of life, a life of expressive freedom, sense of humour, truth, authenticity, honesty, presence, intuition, risk, commitment and failing well. It's one thing to perform clown but another to adopt the profound teachings into your life and work. This is no easy feat, it's a deep developmental process unleashing your self-expression, understanding your limitations on a visceral level and taking courageous risks to express authentically before others.

Why study with Zuma?

Whilst there are hundreds of clown gurus around the world who teach their expertise and specific styles- this course was designed by Zuma in order to apply the nature, wisdom, philosophy and games of clown to expand our lives beyond the ordinary. Zuma has extensively trained with over 20 leading clown teachers worldwide for the past 10 years (including full 1-2 year intensive programs with Philippe Gaulier- Paris France and the School Of Clown and Comedy- Montréal, Francine Côté- Cirque Du Soleil) just to mention a few. "Not everyone wants to be a clown- clowns have a bad rep right now- but it's foundation, philosophy and practice can enhance our lives exponentially. Let us go beyond the ordinary- to feel what it is to truly live, beyond limitations, finding freedom from the compounds of our over thinking minds and finally be real with others and ourselves". For those who have a yearning to live deeply- this course was designed for you. Offering all the best teachings from years of training with a focus on personal development and how clown can enhance your life.

Zuma is also a wellness facilitator and recently a resident practitioner at Present Moment Retreat Centre, Mexico for the past 5 months. Outside of her work with clown she enjoys teaching rewire the mind workshops, self healing practice, guided meditation/journeys, vocal freedom techniques and fire/ cacao ceremonies; with groups and one on one. Her keen interest in self-healing and personal development was a major player in the design of this intensive. Thusly combining years of personal developmental research and deep introspection with extensive practical study.

" If you're someone who wants to be a world-class clown, I highly recommend my teachers... However, if you’re someone who wants to be gently introduced to the world, take a risk, be seen, witness others doing the same, learn about yourself and your patterns, have a good laugh, meet your sense of humour and authentic nature, accept all of yourself, and enjoy how the philosophy of clown can enhance your life/work/performance exponentially then I look forward to seeing you on the course"- Zuma
