“Peace clowns are the symbol of unconditional love, having fun and seeing all as one family”

World Peace is Clowning is an initiative inspired by my desire to give joy to people. I would like to thank Patricia Cameron-Hill, Dr. Shayne Yates and Dr. Patch Adams for encouraging me to become a clown. I would also like to thank Jon Potter ‘Hairy Potter’, my 70 year old clown buddy who inspired me when he couldn’t come to clown alone and that I was a great clown. I met him on my return from Russia clowning with Chernobyl children. He had on the back of his vest ‘Love Life’. He and I clowned for years at South Bank and Repatriation, Heidelberg Hospital (Austin Health) in Melbourne.
Peacefull (clown) or Peace-Fool (jester) can visit schools, workplaces, hospitals and perform spontaneously on the streets to create a positive atmosphere for people to feel connected with others. World Peace is clowning around is great for:
Clowning is spontaneous and non-judgemental and enables clowns to experience ‘peace’ in action. Special thanks for the photo of ‘Peacefull’ by Andrew Brownbill, Heidelberg Leader Newspaper. |
