The wonderful clown Yuri Nikulin said:
"Even after a small smile, one small microbe is sure to die in the body."
For me, Hospital Clowns and Clowns in Therapeutic settings are heroes.
They charge children and adults with their positive emotions.
For them, the stage is the hospital ward, and the stage lights are the eyes of the children and adults recovering from injuries or enduring illness.
This certificate course is for those who would like to create their own Comedy Act to use in therapeutic environments.
I help to develop the sensitivity of your clown character and teach you the practices that will allow you to bring joy consistently to your audiences.
