"The way to have and to be a sharp, powerful instrument is to be minutely sensitive, and use that sensitivity to see the epiphanies that have been sitting around you all along."
Stephen Nachmanovitch
Come and experience what the Clown Lab is about.
Unlock your creative impulse.
Do you remember who you are?
* Forget what you think you know.
* Get back in tune with your heart.
* Re-discover the magic in the minute,
the simplistic, the absurd.
* Feel the joy of being stupid.
"The feeling I have experienced is that you can't escape that
'just right' place. It becomes a sacred space, if you allow it.
Jef Johnson and his teachings brilliantly place the person in
just the right space for this to occur." Julie Josephson, trombone artist
"Suddenly there I was, standing blindfolded,
trying to count in two directions while walking
sideways and I had the most beautiful feeling
of stupidity...When the control was gone I felt
the greatest potential--the greatest freedom--
as if the control was actually big steel chains
holding me down." Thomas McGinn, Actor/Director
