Clownsolo

 

In 2018/19 the idea came to me to create a one-woman-clownsolo "What`s love got to do with It?" .

A clown solo illustrated with life themes - a journey with a backpack and obstacles to overcome. What`s love got to do with it?

Always a “work in progress” with inspiration and improvisation - every performance lives from the potential of the moment.

Performed in March / Sept. 2019, February 2020 (Potsdam, T-Werk) 

Bookable on request.

Facilitator with the nosetonose approach

 

As a trained and accredited facilitator of the nosetonose approach, I mediate and accompany each person's creative process by promoting their emotional expression, supporting the imagination and strengthening the clown's own relationship with the audience.
As I strive to focus on the individual, together we get to the heart of the work of theaterclowning, which is the search for authenticity in both the social and personal dimensions of our lives.
