Sabar Drums and Clowns!

12:15 AM - Tue 9 February 2010

Well it’s been a couple of weeks since I posted something here.

Last Thursday I went to London to my son’s end of course presentation – he’s been training in clowning which is a very fascinating and deep subject – real emotions, tragedy and comedy is got in touch with and brought into the performance – he’s found it life changing.

On Saturday we went to Bristol to a day’s workshop of sabar drumming and dance with a great party in the evening and Sunday we came back home. I’ve got a busy week ahead – I’m thinking of starting writing my morning pages again to try and keep my writing mojo going – I used to write a few pages every morning early – just to clear out thinking and get all the channels open and flowing.

This coming weekend my dad and his wife plus my kids and family are coming for a late Christmas (well not really Christmas now!) so I’m looking forward to that – I’ve got to try and get everything sorted out before Thursday as I’m going to see Paloma Faith on Thursday in London and coming back just before everyone arrives on Friday – mmm – can it be done – I hope so!!!

I've seen Paloma Faith on TV. Yes I think she is an interesting character & good singer.
Sabar- I've turned down the chance to go on some courses as they are usually too far away & the cost of accom. on top of the course costs are too much. Guess I'm losing my passion a bit.
Clowns:- Like most adults I find them unfunny, obvious and a bit disturbing. OK for kids I s'pose but can't see the fascination myself.

well Barrie there's a lot more to clowning than you realise - I'm not talking about balloon bending childrens' clowns - it's an art like many others which involves deep deep looking into various parts of the psyche to bring out the various emotions and personalities into the acts - I suppose you'd have to see it to know what I mean.....

Perhaps so, like a variation of mime, I suppose, but I have heard so many adults say they find clowns either creepy or unfunny i.e obvious slapstick, so I can't see why it would appeal, but then all art-forms have their own followers eh?
