Abstract
This article is about the use of clowning and comedy as tools for learning in a sensitive way. It mentions that the clown is not just a character, but a way of life that allows artists to undress and expose their weaknesses and flaws in an intimate and revealing way. The aim of this is not just for show, but to create a relationship of exchange in which laughter acts as a catalyst.
It then addresses the differences between laughter and comedy, and how the clown uses both tools to connect with the audience and establish a two-way dialogue in which laughter is the link that builds the connection. The methodology used by LUME Teatro, a Brazilian theatrical group, for teaching the techniques associated with clowning and physical comedy is then analyzed.
In conclusion, the importance of these techniques will be discussed, not only in the teaching of comical practices, but fundamentally they help to create a stronger connection between the student and his own learning process, understanding the value of the error from a space of joy that is capable of generating new experiences that provoke teachings.
