For us clown, theater and art, in general, are understood in their power to transform
a tool guide
a magnifier into my interior
a curious and affective look

that allows us to know ourselves, the world and the others in a better way
Our pedagogical project lies on creating and stimulating artistic practices in communitarian contexts where art can bring new possibilities in the expression and in the communication between individuals.
In order to understand art's pedagogy, to deepen its potential, we work together with schools, institutions, social centers and associations in order to create long or small term projects where this transformations can truly have place.
For that we develop the process starting with a 3h workshop, that can either initiate the group into the project to be developed in a continuity of time or that workshop can develop a certain theme in specific during this 3 hours, such as object theater, for example.
We work using different artistic tools adapted to the group and its context, from object theater, to circus, from painting to arts and crafts.
We are multidisciplinary artists that believe that art deserves to be discovered in all its branches and that the richness of the path lies in seeing art as something integrated in our daily life.
There are two kinds of workshops:
 |
| Clown Meeting, Évora, 2012 |
Community (children, young adults, adults and people with handicaps)
Specialized or Professional (educators, teachers, actors, social animators)
In community workshops we try trough the hand of artistic dynamics (theatrical,arts and crafts, story tell, musical and audiovisual) to explore themes as self-knowledge and communication, mainly by playing and exploring to increase awareness of myself, the other and the world and the emotional relations that those create. Always searching for the pleasure in participating, of enjoying the moment and learning to learn myself, or how to better know myself in this perspective.
Workshops are prepared by us along with the institution in an integrated collaboration between both, defining goals and methods so that we can get to know every person properly.
With Specialized or professional workshops we try to get to share with other professionals in this area or that want to start this kind of work, tools and methodologies and, as well, explore the difficulties that appear in the work of community education, in 3h workshop or more.
