The Power of Ha & the Heart of Clowning: Stefan Haves

Stefan Haves (an award-winning theatre and Cirque Du Soleil director and teacher) shares with us his life-long journey in theatre and the many twists and turns along the way, and some key insighs he has to pass along to the rest of us.  We dive into what clowning is, the art of it, and why it's important in both theatre and performing arts, but also in the world and in activism. Did you know that clowning is really based in the idea of anti-authority? And that the audience HAS to want the clown to the win? All this and a whole lot more is discussed around what actually makes clowning particularly healing for so many.    Connect with Stefan:On his website: stefanhaves.comOn Instagram: @fellinifellaGofundme for Pomo Summer Arts Camp Other Resources:Dani mentions a clown that has been incredibly inspiring to her - find Franzia Rose on Instagram - the ultimate clown bimbo! A note from Dani: This podcast is a passion project for me and I love doing it, and I want to keep doing it!
