Annotation

This paper focuses on the performative and therapeutic nature of play and laughter in clowning for refugees (based on Clowns without Borders (CWB)), esp. yet not solely for children, in 3 settings (CWB in Lesotho, Circus2Iraq and Mimi the Clown working with the Tunisian Red Cross), whilst also observing cultural and ethical reflections linked to feat in possibly risky contexts.
