DISCUSSION
Looking for a Feeling: A Study of Relations Between Clown and Mask and Land Connection
Megan Hyslop in english / en anglais
MainLine Gallery
PhD candidate Megan Hyslop shares her experience and practice in Pochinko Mask and Clown, and practising clown in nature, leading participants through exercises and a round table discussion about her research. “Nature as a world view, or interconnection and fluidity for the wellbeing of individuals, communities, and the land and all its elements, is held as paramount by many Indigenous cultures, including the old European ones. Communication with land takes place through listening as well as through a sensory and emotional plane (Watts, 2013; Buhner, 2004; Abrams, 2010) that engages our hearts, minds, and bodies. It situates humans in a learning place as the youngest, most stumbling beings in creation (Geniusz, 2015).
”I believe that art, and specifically clowning, is a powerful way to connect with the dynamic, interconnected core concept of land and all its relations. ” – Megan Hyslop
