How Do I Know I Am Doing a Good Job (as a clown)
In this episode of the Clown Spirit Podcast, Barnaby King, founder of Clown Spirit, delves into the persistent question of how to know if you're doing a good job as a clown. Using examples from the Clown Spirit Village community and his own experiences, Barnaby explores three distinct perspectives: learning through feedback loops, the transactional nature of clowning, and the transcendent experience of shared humanity. He reflects on how these ideas apply both to clowning and to life, arguing for a balance between external validation and internal authenticity. The episode encourages listeners to embrace the spontaneous and interconnected nature of clowning, ultimately inviting clowns and non-clowns alike to step over the edge of the cliff and let the 'clown gods' guide them.
