As facilitators, we believe we stay true to the spirit of clowning when we flow with the creative process of each person, when we nurture its emotional expression and the emergence of the imagination and when we facilitate and free actors to find their own clown, unique and grounded in their relationship to the audience. It is our belief that by focusing on the individual we are, in fact, going straight to the heart of clowning which in the search for authenticity both in the social or personal dimensions of our lives.

Laura Geilen
Laura Geilen teaches dance, Spacial Dynamics, circus arts, therapeutic movement, acro-yoga and clowning to children, adults, and special needs groups in schools, workplaces, institutions and privately. Laura is a member of Walking the dog Theater's OFF LEASH! Improv Theater Ensemble, and is a facilitator with Nose to Nose. She believes in clowning as a personal practice and journey towards greater truth, freedom and aliveness and also as a social art that can re-connect us to the world and bring healing to our relationships.
She is grateful for the inspiration and example of those brilliant, talented and generous people she has been privileged to work with or been touched by - artists, musicians, athletes, educators, poets, seekers, thinkers, healers, and other “ordinary” fearful and courageous spirits willing to risk and dare.
She is amazed and astonished by her family, her parents and siblings, her children, and those she has claimed unjustly as her own; by those braver than she, facing the ordinary challenges connected with being alive; and by forgiveness.
She is interested in presences and possibilities.
She is informed by life and living, by beauty, ugliness, music, laughter, poetry, nature, stillness, cruelty, and compassion, by brave souls and tender hearts … by the struggle to realize the impulse that initiated a wish to be, and by the work she has to do.
The mistakes she makes: the limitations she must overcome; the struggles she faces in being and becoming; the gifts she has been given; and her sense of wonder, reverence, and gratitude inform and guide her in her work with others.
She works with individuals, companies, institutions, agencies, and organizations. She still struggles and falls down.
