Workshop openers for clowns and civilians

By
Holly Adams
| June 15, 2012

A colleague recently asked me for some opening exercises to do with a clown class. The class would include folks with a variety of challenges, from the usual "I don't like being vulnerable/connecting deeply with other people" to learning challenges to challenges that accompany Down's Syndrome.

What an awesome question and amazing project!

There are sooooo many terrific and deep clown things to use and do -- it's such an ancient, myriad, mulitplexed thing, with lots of forms and frames that even its practice in a workshop setting can change how one is and feels in the world. I have included below to 'openers' that are great for many workshops-not just clowning, not just theatre.

Day School: Understanding and Fighting Austerity

Date: Saturday, November 12, 2011 - 10:30am - 5:00pm

What are some of the forces that are driving the current crisis? How is it pushing forward the agenda of business and governments to get working people and our organizations to tighten our belts and accept their calls for austerity? What forms is resistance taking around the world? What are the strengths and limitations of that resistance and what can we learn from it? With the Ford administration's plans to cut social services, dramatically increase privatization and attack the rights of municipal workers, what do we have to do to resist? How must we change the way we have been doing things in our communities and unions in order to prevent our isolation and loss of our livelihoods and key services?

Tools for Change

A project of OPIRG Toronto, Earthroots, and Greenpeace Canada, Tools for Change helps you develop skills to advocate for social, economic, and environmental justice. The project began in 2010. We organize approximately 15 trainings in Toronto each year.  Our workshop topics are chosen through a survey process. Every year, we ask organizations across the Greater Toronto Area what workshops they think we should host, and we organize the most popular choices. Our website at http://www.toolsforchange.net announces up and coming trainings, as well as useful resources that you can use in your own time.
