The archetypal role of the clown as a catalyst for individual and societal transformationMany clowning programs are emerging around the world today (Adams 1998, Peacock 2009, Van Blerkom 2012, Vinit 2010, Simonds and Warren 2004). Programs like Clowns Without Borders; the humanitarian missions in Russia, Asia, and India led by Patch Adams; and Therapeutic clown programs in healthcare settings such as Jovia in Montreal are all deeply rooted in the traditions and archetype of the clown.

What common elements of the role of the clown serve as catalysts for individual and societal transformation and how are they actualized in various contexts and cultures ranging from the Indigenous Tricksters to the contemporary clowns of Bataclown in France?

Through ethnographic and autoethnographic research, this thesis will explore the traditional comedic role and the Indigenous sacred role of the clown to find connections to how the role of the clown manifests in communities today. This process will include reviewing scholarly works, interviewing and collecting experiential stories from clowns, as well as self-referencing my work in clowning and my script, written about my experiences, titled Under the Nose : Memoirs of a Clown, which I performed at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival in July, 2011.

Clowns d'hôpitaux : c'est du sérieux !Quoi faire et que dire quand vous entrez dans une chambre d’hôpital où on vient d’apprendre à des parents que leur petite fille de 5 ans est atteinte d’un cancer incurable ? De quelle manière approcher un adolescent qui sera paralysé pour le reste de ses jours ? Comment amener de la joie dans le cœur d’une vieille dame atteinte d’Alzheimer qui cherche désespérément la maison de son papa ? Ce sont des défis auxquels sont confrontés les clowns thérapeutiques dans leur travail. Dans ce récit véridique rempli de tendresse, de sensibilité et d’humour, l’auteur place le lecteur aux premières loges du spectacle de la vie – et parfois de la mort -, qui se joue tous les jours dans la chambre d’enfants malades et des personnes âgées et, souvent, isolées. Mais au-delà de la lourdeur de la maladie du monde hospitalier et du centre d’hébergement, se trament de belles histoires tissées de jeux, de surprises et de souvenirs. [résumé de l'éditeur]
Clown as interpreters of emotionsIn recent decades, humour has come to be viewed not only as a very socially desirable trait for any human being but also as an important component of mental and physical health. Clown therapy represents a peculiar way of using humour in order to promote people well-being. Clown Therapy officially started in 1986, but it is thank to the well known 1998 movie “Patch Adams” that clown therapy has gained worldwide popularity. Nowadays, it is very easy to find clown doctors in hospitals and it is therefore paramount to define their status and role. When thinking about clowns in hospitals, people tend to see them as volunteers dressing in clown’s clothes whose main purpose is to improve hospitalised children’s and adults’ mood. In actual facts, clown therapy is much more than this. Every year many people express their interest in becoming clown doctors. Consequently, the necessity of creating adequate training courses has emerged. To this end, some Clown Care Units in Italy have founded an association called Federazione Nazionale Clown Dottori, which aims to establish the role and status of clown doctors, along with providing adequate training. Key words: humour, well-being, clown doctors, clown therapy. [author summary]

Therapeuthic clowning and dram therapy : a family ressemblanceThis paper compares therapeutic clowning and drama therapy, starting with a brief survey of the development of medical clowning as a profession, a definition of the field, and a claim to its ancient link with drama therapy. It then proceeds to analyze four vignettes describing the work of a medical clown in a hospital, and examining them through the lens of drama therapy concepts and theory. The paper shows that the clown's working techniques can be conceptualized using drama therapeutic models and theory, and that using this approach as a method of analysis can serve to enhance the body of knowledge of the rapidly growing profession of therapeutic clowning.
