5: The Heart & Craft of Clown With Sue Morrison
I go back to the source this week to bring you a conversation with Sue Morrison, who first taught me to clown. We reflect on our work together in an often frank exchange. Sue also shares her journey into clowning, discussing the influence of mask work and her mentor, Richard Pachinko. We delve into the philosophy of clowning, including the importance of connecting with the audience, working from the heart, and the transformative nature of performance. Sue emphasizes the role of love in clowning and the necessity of being genuine and vulnerable on stage. The episode also touches on the impact of the pandemic on clowning and the unique process of creating clown shows.
