Great News! An old dream comes true again! My closest friend in Russia, Marina Schusterman, who has joined us for 23 years on our annual Russian clown trip, has a daughter, Masha, who was a young child when we met. Masha fell in love many years ago with Mohamed (Simo), who is from Morocco and lived in St. Petersburg. After many years waiting for our opportunity, we were able to hold our first Morocco Clown Tour four years ago. This trip will now be our fourth time leading a group there.
No clowning experience is required – be covered in clown garb, and if you are loving, you will love it! It is a study of up-close care, compassion, improvisations, play, group dynamics in a context of happy, funny, loving, cooperative, creative and thoughtful. No whining allowed!
As always, I encourage folks to read some literature, history, culture of Morocco and have some understanding of the Muslim faith (which is included below). Adult women must cover most skin – not above the neck and lower arms. Later on the trip organizers will provide you with some good tips of what is and isn’t culturally appropriate.
