“Laughter loosens the fetters of the brain, and it radiates spirit
that makes for the joyousness of life.”
An Autobiography of a Clown, Jules Turnour
The clown’s nose is the mask that unmasks. Through the clown we can
rediscover inner qualities of openness, spontaneity and play.
The Heart Nose is about Serious Fun: seeing what is “everyday” in a new, light-hearted way. Explore your interactions with yourself and others in fun, while laughing all the way, back to your wonderful serious grown-up life. The Heart Nose offers Inner Clown Weekend Workshops as well as mini-workshops performed in a few hours – these are called Serious Fun Adventures and are charged by the hour.
There is an abundance of games
and exercises to create connection and trust, in oneself and others. You
may even experience time becoming space …the magic "NOW".

An Inner Clown Workshop or Serious
Fun Adventure can give you the tools
to assist in any profession. Here's a true example of that:
“This is a quick note to tell you that my participation in the clowning workshop was quite wonderful. In my work (as a speech pathologist) I have felt more present and have been able to respond differently to children who have presented challenges.
The most notable situation was where a 9 year old boy with learning problems slid off of his chair onto the floor, his head down and his bum pointing upward. He whined "I can't do it!" Immediately I slid onto the floor, assumed the same position, looked into his eyes, and said, "But you /can/ do it, and I will show you how!" I broke the "tricky word" down into parts, and he responded with ease. Next, we were both back up in our chairs, and he was beaming.... Prior to the workshop, I wouldn't have responded so instinctively, and the situation would likely have turned into a power struggle.”
Or how one can have an existentialist experience:
“I was gently guided past my fears into this outrageous space of not knowing what was going to happen next—while on stage! And, as I went deeper into it, and wonderful things mysteriously happened, I found that existence itself is funny.”
David Lancaster, Composer
