Why Clown? Why Now?
In Why Clown? Why Now? host Barnaby King delves into the crucial role of clowning in addressing the current global crises. He discusses the emotional turmoil people face today—overwhelm, guilt, anxiety—and attributes it to disconnection from ourselves, others, and our spiritual roots. He explores three main aspects of clowning: acknowledging truths, breaking rules to inspire new possibilities, and fostering deep connections. Clowning is a transformative force that can help individuals and society heal and reimagine a better future. The episode concludes with a practical manifesto advocating for grounding in community, personal clowning practice, and leading through clowning in various aspects of life.
