School of Clowning

The last two weeks I've been working with a concept for a clown school and in the process worked together with some others in the further shaping of the concept for the youth group that the clown school will be a part of. The first semester of the clown school will be a try-out semester to see if this is an appealing concept for the kids in the age 12-15 in Oslo. The first semester I will be the only teacher and the topics will be face painting, juggling and balloon twisting. There will be 10 evenings with teaching during the semester. The students will get material that makes it possible for them to train more at home if they want to.

I sent out a press release to most national and local norwegian media, including more than 30 newspapers, TV-stations and radios a few days ago. I haven't got any feedback at all. Interesting to see some media headlines that are preferred over the startup of something as rare and funny as a clown school. Well... I still hope that someone will write about it :)

All information on the web is in norwegian.

The youth group site: www.connection.oslo.no

Well... The youth group is named Connection... Wasn't my idea... as far as I know it didn't get inspired by Connect Europe. Anyway... It's a great name :)
