Opis projektu:
This project focuses on the interface of performing arts, health and development!
Clowndoctors personify the social dimension of performing arts by turning the performance
into a therapeutic and restorative experience and not merely a recreational moment.
Through humour, interactive play and social/educational theatre, hospital clowning greatly
improves the health care environment. Clowndoctors performances provide a much needed
psychosocial support their audience, they help empowering vulnerable groups and fighting
stereotypes against people with disabilities. "The Faces behind the Nose" project is
centered in raising the profile of and deepening the understanding for the benefits of
hospital clowning among the general public in Europe and beyond. Its focus on the training
and exchange of artists and artistic approaches to hospital clowning promotes the
circulation of performing artists and their works and allows for the internationalization of
their careers. The project envisions the transfer of know-how and the implementation of
new formats to reach new audiences (in other geographic areas and/or from different
cultural and social groups). The goal is to promote the wellbeing of sick and hospitalized
persons, allowing everyone to benefit from and participate in cultural initiatives. The
project is coordinated by RED NOSES Clowndoctors International (AT) and includes national
RED NOSES NPOs from 9 European countries (AT, CZ, DE, HR, HU, LT, PL, SI and SK) and
the European Federation of Hospital Clown Organizations (BE). The planned activities will
benefit more than 300 performing artists in 9 EU Member States, and also patients in nonEU countries (outreach to BH and 2 Emergency Smile missions). This multilingual and
diversity of artistic expressions promotes intercultural dialogue, fosters social cohesion and
allows for bridging the gap between performing arts in convention settings and performing
arts in hospitals.
