Modern day clowning follows an age-old tradition, with a set of principles and beliefs expounded by proponents of the profession. Throughout the principles of clowning, themes of subversion, inversion, play and challenge recur. These same ideas have a place in the classroom, not as everyday practice but perhaps as a leitmotif. The book is therefore a call for educators to consider their position within the learning environment and to embody the clown spirit. By looking outside of traditional pedagogical thinking and training, this book demonstrates ideas and techniques from which educators can borrow or learn, allowing them to enhance their own methods and practices. It offers an opportunity to revisit the dynamics of the classroom through the recognition of the important role that the clown can play in society. Sean McCusker is Associate Professor of Education at Northumbria University, UK. His research interests are centred on developing better understanding and communication within broad educational contexts. This covers many strands, including play and playfulness in education, the use of Lego® Serious Play® as tool for improving dialogue and strategic thinking as well as methods for representing and interpreting large and complex data sets. 606 $aTeaching 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aNon-formal education 606 $aArt$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPedagogy 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aInformal Education 606 $aCreativity and Arts Education 606 $aFormació del professorat$2thub 606 $aEducació no-formal$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aTeaching. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aNon-formal education. 615 0$aArt$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aPedagogy. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aInformal Education. 615 24$aCreativity and Arts Education. 615 7$aFormació del professorat 615 7$aEducació no-formal 676 $a370 700 $aMcCusker$b Sean$01425513 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910742481703321 996 $aPedagogy of the Clown$93555940 997 $aUNINA
