INTER-CULTURAL CLOWNING IN SENEGAL
2-6th January 2012
Casamance, South Senegal, West Africa

Join us for this pioneering course in Senegal and experience living West African culture, music and dance. This 5-day workshop will attempts to cultivate links with the local culture through performance in the local village or school..

Held on the seafront in lush Casamance in southern Senegal, between rice fields and the beach. Our workshop space is a round house, simple but comfortable and beautiful, surrounded by a ten-acre grounds with trees and vegetable garden. At night you fall asleep to the sound of the sea, and in the morning you wake to the sound of birds in the bush - or a rooster. It takes five minutes to walk to the beach. Here you will experience an Africa you will never forget.

This 5-day workshop offers an exploration of our cultural differences around laughter and play, and the clown as expressed in African and Western culture.

We are hoping that participants from Senegal will join our group from Europe and the USA.
Spaces are strictly limited to 8 from the West, so early booking is recommended!

Facilitators: Vivian Gladwell.

Course fee: £290
