Pedagogy of the Clown: Clowning Principles in Education – PDF

This eBook, titled Pedagogy of the Clown: Clowning Principles in Education (PDF), examines the connection between the art of clowning and its relevance in education. It explores the shared philosophies and principles between these two professions, and seeks to identify the valuable lessons that educators can learn from the world of clowns.

Clowning has a rich historical tradition that continues to influence modern-day practitioners. Within this tradition, there are a set of principles and beliefs that are widely recognized and embraced by those in the clowning profession. These principles encompass ideas such as subversion, inversion, play, and challenge, which are considered central to the art of clowning.

The book proposes that these same themes can find a place within the classroom, not as everyday practices, but as a guiding principle. It encourages educators to reflect on their roles within the learning environment and to embrace the spirit of clowning. By stepping outside the boundaries of traditional pedagogical thinking and training, educators can discover new ideas and techniques that can enhance their teaching methods and practices.
