DISCUSSION

Clown, Resilience and Community

​The clown as a figure of resilience can help us laugh, reflect, reconnect with our inner joy, our stories and creativity. It can help build tools to connect with community and to share different ways of knowing. This discussion explores some of the ways in which the clown figure is used in today’s society, including as a way to build bridges between cultures by sharing Indigenous world views, and through encouraging resiliency and healing in healthcare settings.
