DOCUMENT UNIQUE CANADIAN CLOWN TRAINING
This October, professional clowns from around the world are flying to Canada to meet in quiet Sydney, Nova Scotia, to film the experience of the core training, Mask and Clown Intensive. A.K.A "Baby Clown”.
​
For years, John Turner, Smoot of Canada's legendary Mump & Smoot clown duo, has wanted to document this work—but filming hasn’t been possible without disrupting it. “Baby Clown” depends on full immersion, so the introduction of cameras would usually heavily interfere with the process. But this will be different. We will be filming “Teacher’s Perspective,” which brings together participants from all over the world who have already completed the prerequisite training, allowing the work to be enacted and discussed on camera, without compromising the experience. This creates a real opportunity to document and share this uniquely Canadian methodology beyond the room.
