Not all clowns hide sadness behind a painted smile. Some wear their emotions on their sleeve, with earnest, overt authenticity, and deep self-awareness!

After taking a sign language course, Suzanne Dietz discovered how freeing it was to express herself through non-verbal communication – and it soon changed the course of her life. Hanging up her traditional facilitation hat and swapping it for a red nose, she now brings joy to the lives of asylum seekers and the elderly as a talented care clown.

Together, we unravel the wondrous world of non-verbal facilitation: from improvisation and silent connection, to letting go of performance, and developing a sharpened sense for the unspoken.

Find out about:

  • The unexpected similarities between facilitators and clowns
  • The non-verbal craft of clowning, the cues, and the communication form
  • How Suzanne expresses and plays with emotions with authenticity
  • How clowning can sharpen our intuition, and reveal emotional clarity in both ourselves and others
