SLAVA'S JOURNEY SECRETS OF SNOW "The forgotten joys of getting lost"  A GREAT DOCUMENTARY by Blue Canary Films (Steve Haisman and Clive Howard) "One especially harsh winter, the great Russian clown Slava Polunin packed his stage spectacular SNOWSHOW onto a train and hauled it up to the Russian arctic.  ​  Helena Bonham Carter narrates (English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian)" Watch this amazing film on Vimeo HERE Trailer "SECRETS OF SNOW - SLAVA'S JOURNEY" by Blue Canary Films:

 “A clown is a poet in action. He is the story which he enacts. [...] The clown teaches us to laugh at ourselves. [...] Joy is like a river: it flows ceaselessly. It seems to me that this is the message which the clown is trying to convey to us, that we should participate through the ceaseless flow and movement, that we should not stop to reflect, compare, analyze, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music. This is the gift of surrender, and the clown makes it symbolically.” - Henry Miller in “The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder”  

Lungta by Relax Petso   Namkhai Norbu Rinoche explains the etymology of the Tibetan LUNGTA: "The word lungta (ཀླུང་རྟ་, klung rta) is composed of two syllables: the first, lung, represents the element 'space' in the fivefold classification of the elements 'earth, water, fire, air and space' and signifies 'universal foundation' or 'omnipervasiveness'. [...] The second syllable ta (horse) refers to the 'excellent horse' (རྟ་མཆོག་, rta mchog), and since in ancient times in Tibet the horse was the symbol of traveling with the greatest speed, in this case it seems to refer to the transmutation of every thing that depends on the five elements from negative to positive, from bad to good, from misfortune to good fortune, from baleful portents to auspicious signs, from poverty to prosperity, and it implies that this should ensue with the greatest speed. [...] I believe this to be the true meaning of lungta. In more recent times the custom has arisen ...

Clown Article: Women In Clowning Check it out here Thanks to physicalcomedy.blogspot.com "Clowns were here from the beginning. The creation stories told and acted out for centuries if not millennia by indigenous peoples throughout the world are full of mudhead clowns and trickster coyotes. For the Hopi, an indigenous tribe of the American Southwest, when humans first emerged from the underworld, it was the clowns who led the way. Likewise, trickster characters are a part of most mythologies and take many forms —not just male, and not just human."

Le Moulin Jaune is a curious place. A very curious place, indeed. And it’s no surprise that it all comes from the mind of a clown. Slava Polunin is a free-spirited, avant-garde performance artist and one of the world’s most recognizable clowns. Video by GreatBigStory.com

Earth Day by Relax Petso "The distance between humans and the environment is becoming wider and wider and likewise, we are bringing more and more harm to the environment by using it indiscriminately. Actually, before using the environment, we should think; it is very important to think of the consequences of indiscriminate destruction of the environment. Lack of mindfulness is creating a lot of problems. Therefore, it is very important to be mindful of what we are using now and from where those resources come from. For example, sweet cheeps of birds and lush green forests are beauties; they are not something that we have created; rather those are naturally created beauties. However, if we cut down forests and harm animals, we are depriving ourselves of the natural beauties we enjoy; it is as if we are destroying the very sounds, smells and good tastes that we enjoy. Therefore, it is very important to be mindful." - The 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje Read the c...

First Flight: Homage to Bessie Coleman and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry by Relax Petso Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 – April 30, 1926) was an early American civil aviator. She was the first African-American woman and first Native American to hold a pilot license. She earned her license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale on June 15, 1921, and was the first Black person to earn an international pilot's license. Her pioneering role was an inspiration to early pilots and to the African-American and Native American communities. Antoine Marie Jean-Baptiste Roger, comte de Saint-Exupéry, simply known as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry; 29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944), was a French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist and pioneering aviator. He became a laureate of several of France's highest literary awards and also won the United States National Book Award. He is best remembered for his novella "The Little Prince" ("Le Petit Prince") and for his lyrical aviatio...

Poster - Le Schpountz, de Marcel Pagnol "To make laugh those who return from the fields with their hands so stiff that they can not close them, those who leave the office with their little narrow chest who forgot the taste of the air, those returning from the factory, head down and broken back, with black oil in the cuts of their fingers, make laugh those who approach death, those who have lost their mother. He who makes them forget for a moment the miseries, fatigue, anxieties and death itself, the one who make laugh those who have much reason to cry, gives them the strength to live and we love him as a benefactor.” Marcel Pagnol - The Schpountz "Faire rire ceux qui rentrent des champs avec les mains si dures qu’il ne peuvent pas les fermer, ceux qui sortent du bureau avec leur petite poitrine étroite qui ne savent plus le goût de l’air, ceux qui reviennent de l’usine, la tête basse et le dos cassé, avec de l’huile noire dans les coupures de leurs doigts ; faire rire ...
