About PlayFoolSpirit
PlayFoolSpirit Clowns are clowns with a playful spirit. They are deeply grounded
and therefore fully present in the moment, aware of what is in the outside world as well as the inside world.
With the heart open and receptive, they experience the world as a place of wonder, full of magic and beauty. Their childlike innocence allows them to transform any object into a source of play and inspiration. In the simplicity of their play they recognize the essence of who they are as human beings.
PlayFoolSpirit clowns are authentic, giving their feelings true expression without hiding. Whatever feeling is there they allow it to be, showing their vulnerability.
Whatever clowns do comes from the heart and not from the head. There is no acting in clowning. In this lies the boundless freedom of the clown: letting go of thinking, letting go of ‘needing to know’, letting go of expectations and preconceptions, letting go of control. All the clown does is about being with what is here and now, surrendering to something higher and trusting the unknown.
By letting go of the thinking and of our ego clowns surrender to the present moment and allow the magic and wonder of the world to touch their hearts. This is how creativity is born in its purity.
We are touched when we see true beauty and true feelings. This is why we are touched when we watch the clown; the depth of true emotion reaches our hearts. There is even a sense of relief in feeling what is reflected by the clown, because we often don’t allow ourselves to feel our heart which speaks to other hearts.
The clown is not afraid of feeling any emotion whether it is fear, pain, sorrow and awkwardness or joy, bliss and happiness. This is why there are no limitations to the clown’s play. There is only freedom of emotional expression, freedom of the heart.
In this respect the clown has mastered the challenges of our human existence: allowing reality to be, without judgment; meeting reality with full awareness and presence; embracing reality with the love and compassion of the heart.
