GO!CLOWNS physicians, nurses and staff clowns developed our clown/healthcare outreach into a coherent response to suffering, need and crisis. Clowning in combination with public health outreach can bring laughter and play back to the public space, and heal the damaged spirit of an entire community. GO!CLOWNS has unparalleled experience working in communities damaged by poverty, calamity, or war. We have witnessed countless instances where collaborative play in the hospital setting eases suffering, promotes healing, and caregivers to hidden reservoirs of compassion and joy, enhancing intimacy with their patients, so often shut down in healthcare settings. The clown in play disturbs the status quo, exposing rigid social power gradients (sick/well, rich/poor, boss/worker, doctor/patient, prisoner/guard, etc) such that horizontal relationships emerge. The GO!CLOWNSВ method is to create, in the moment, joyful atmospheres enhancing the well-being of individuals and groups. Why we clown вЂ“We define clowning as вЂњ spontaneous improvisational playвЂќ while wearing the red nose.

The yearly Belen Festival brings 100 international clown volunteers to Belen for public health education, free mental health and family health clinics, mural painting, and educational outreach to BelenвЂ™s children. GO!CLOWNS missions have provided medical care, dispensed food and medicine, and funded the building of rural medical clinics in El Salvador(1999,2003).Д«uilding bridges to health вЂ“В Founded by GO!CLOWNS and Bolaroja Clown Doctors of Peru, the BelenВ ProjectВ began in 2006 as a multi-component, collaborative community development project in Belen, a profoundly disadvantaged riverside community in the Peruvian Amazon. Our first annual Alternative Spring Break for college students began 2006. The clown, we learned, could impact health and wellbeing of communities, as well as individuals and families.ДЇrom the battlefield to building projects вЂ“From 1999- present, GO!CLOWNS led scores of humanitarian missions to Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. This and subsequent clown missions to huge refugee camps (up to 250,000 people) in Macedonia (1999), Afghanistan, Serbia, Croatia (2002), Israel, Gaza, West Bank, (2002-2009, Algeria (2003), and Jordan (2014) gave us experience in working with traumatized communities. What began with bedside clowning in hospitals expanded to include missions to orphanages, schools, psychiatric facilities, nursing homes and prisons.ДЇrom the bedside to the battlefield вЂ“In 1997, Gesundheit clowns came to Bosnia, our first experience clowning in war zones. The fundamentals of Gesundheit medical clowning and the structure of clown missions were developed in the annual Russia trip (now in itвЂ™s 30 th year).
