An educational clown tour, with Patch Adams, Susan Parenti, Mark Enslin, Melanie Meltzer, and Kate Herron Slaymaker.
Gesundheit! Institute and the School for Designing a Society invite you to participate in CLOWNING AND CARING, an educational clown tour in Costa Rica. The tour will combine daily clowning at a children’s hospital and two clinics, with daily workshops in imagination and inquiry into the locale of our clowning.
Costa Rica’s history has an unusual twist for a country in Central America—or anywhere—in the 20th century. Upon taking power after an uprising & civil war against an annulled election, the victorious rebels proceeded to abolish the army and remove themselves from power. Costa Rica now hosts many projects of peace, justice and ecological restoration.
In addition to clowning and care in clinical settings, there will be daily practical workshops in clown technique, love strategy and reflection on where we are. Patch Adams will be leading this trip.
Cost:$1250 covers food, lodging, all educational and clowning events, and transportation within the country. This fee does not include your transportation to Costa Rica.
Place: Costa Rica
Time: September 10-16, 2009
