No (you fool, you oaf) we mean a different, much cooler thing. Something that\u2019s both a style of performance and an archetype that exists in almost every world culture.   What do you talk about with a clown? Here\u2019s a search engine tailored list of what we did: Where did clowns come from? What is the history of clowning? What is the clown\u2019s relationship to language?  Why do clowns exist? What is the function of the clown?  Ancient Chinese clowns (Lana said that one clown\u2019s name wrong so you\u2019ll just have to google it) Paradox of the clown  Principles of clowning Masks and concealing identity   Radical honesty  Presence  Bouffon Native American clowns, clown society  Jester  Status, hierarchy  And of course Jacques Lecoq    If you want more of Dean, check out his immersive clown group Slow Dance in LA or check out the Bouffon  troop he directs: Mil Grus. www.milgrus.com   Theme song by Sun Kin https:\/\/spoti.fi\/33m0C83 Sound mixing by Olaf Woldan  More content at patreon.com\/TrashTalksAcademy ","author_name":"Trash Talks","author_url":"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/trashtalksacademy","html":"
