About Fool Bodied

Clowning is a practice that lives in the wilderness of the body. This course is an expedition into that wilderness, a trek through the imaginative worlds and landscapes of the body. It is an invitation to move towards deeper awareness of our bodies though re-storying narratives we have subconsciously ingested.

We will playfully investigate reclaiming rest, desire, connection, refuge, and pleasure. Our explorations will create space for witnessing and cultivating curiosity about the secrets in our blood, and the wisdom in our bones. Fool Bodied is a creative inquiry into embodiment through a clown lens.

This course will investigate a daily movement practice, somatic release work, clown rituals, witnessing, playful embodiment, dance parties, and body as land.

The movement practices that are explored in this course are accessible to all bodies. No prior movement experience is required.
