Pedagogy of the Clown: Clowning Principles in Education, 1st Edition, examines the shared philosophies between clowning traditions and classroom education. The text investigates what each discipline can learn from the other by looking outside conventional pedagogical frameworks.
The volume discusses recurring performance concepts such as play, challenge, inversion, and subversion, considering their potential role as an instructional leitmotif. It also considers the societal role of clowns across time and geography, as well as negative portrayals of the clown.
Ultimately, the work encourages educators to reflect on their presence within learning environments and to adopt creative techniques that can enhance their teaching practices.
