Sacred Clowning Feb Course 
13 - 19 Feb. 2020

The Magic of Wonder " in the Gestural Art of the Sacred Clown"

In “Wonder”, a silent gesture speaks a thousand words. As children, life was a mystery, a magical world unraveling constantly in front of our eyes. As adults, "Wonder" tends to be left unvalued, requiring a little help to be reawakened. 

Through the study & practice of mime-clowning, dance, physical theater, play, singing and awareness you will slowly embody your poetic clown with his unique gestural language.

"The clown family is so special- this is such a gift" Belinda

Awakening The Fool at Heart

Theme: The Poetry of Play

with Didier Danthois

25 - 26 Jan. 2020

Lumi Power Yoga, Hammersmith, London

Play doesn’t aim at a specific result. To the contrary it allows the joy and pleasure of discovering, like for the first time. Play blossoms in openness and innocence and gives the wonderful license to “Not Know.” D.D.

Einstein said: “Play is the highest form of research.”

Testimony: “To play with my child, to paint emotions with my body, to create with the deeper part of myself, to share with others, to discover their child, to enjoy, laugh, breath… to simply “BE”….What a gift!”  Veronika

Nine artists from Norway, Germany, England, Spain and France were involved in this creative process. Each of them with unique skills and talents. 
A true enchanted story of transformation unfolded under the eyes of our public.
Thank you to all who have come and witnessed the magical art of Sacred Clowning as taught by Didier Danthois.

Midsummer Clowning Retreat
Tenerife 20 - 29 July 2019

With a public performance to live music
An improvisation with nature

During this summer clowning course, the Simpleton Clown will take you to the threshold of imagination, where the visible and the invisible merge. In that moment; past, present and future unite and embody the visual poetry of the Sacred Clown. The blessed grounds of “Casa Saraswati” will guide our senses, letting colours, smells, textures and sounds inspire enchanted play. Creative forms will emerge out of our group explorations and be offered as a performance in full make-up and costume to a local invited audience. This outdoor show will take place on the afternoon of Sunday 28th of July, to the inspiring music of the cello, the violin and the piano. There will be mime-clowning, music, dance, mindfullness, play, singing and stillness. Casa Saraswati is our newly opened Retreat Centre, an inspirational home for the “Fools at Heart”. It is a haven of peace where the inner and outer nature can merge in a delightful sense of Being.

NOTE that this retreat is only open to those who have attended a minimum of two Retreats with Didier before this performance course.

Sacred Clowning Retreat Tenerife Nov.2019

Sacred Clowning Retreat 
14-21 Nov. 2019


To continue with last year’s topic, “the field of possibilities”, we will play with entering the sacred space (our stage) by exploring different elements of costume. 

From the ground of “Natural Presence” that we will nourish first, we will slowly tune into our body expression, our unique movements and postures, our jabber sounds; our enchanted clown poetry, spontaneous & unpredictable. 

Step by step, we will unravel our unique clown character and improvise solo and with others. As a group we will support each other to trust our heart by appreciating those special moments when you touch your natural humour, pleasure, play and fun. When you enter that clowning freedom, fear, simply disappears. Your Sacred Clown has been born. It is then a Joy to share it.

The Field of Possibilities

 Pure Expression & Humour  with Didier Danthois

This year the theme of the retreat is “The Field of Possibilities”. As winter draws in, the summer sun draws out. Mother nature takes us within that we may find fresh inspirations for the year to come.

In today's fast and aggressive world, it is not so easy to know where and how to find fulfillment, peace or to simply touch the Wonder of Being. There are so many distractions on the way to “coming home” to our inner space. Rumi reminds us so beautifully in his poem how to create this inner space full of possibilities. Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” 

* For those who have attended an Open Workshop previously.

Another very inspiring retreat where participants had the opportunity to deepen their experience of the Sacred Clown. This training included an exploration of make up and costume in order to let their unique clown shine through. The course ended with a performance shared with each other. Thank you to all the participants for making it possible!


Here's what some of the participants said about this training:


"A journey  for the heart and soul. A learning process to be not only more creative but also more present, kinder and more aware as a human being."
Laura

"A really powerful way to become more spontaneous and present."
Michael
