CWB led 5 workshops for professional artists as part of this program. Here, participants reflect on their experiences. We have shared the feedback as it was originally given, and translated to English.
I learned I don’t have to speak the same language as someone to be able to connect with another’s heart and creativity. – Lucy Shelby, CWB Performing & Teaching Artist
Hand in Hand
He aprendido que la capacidad de sorprenderme sigue ahí. A estar presente y disfrutar el aquí y ahora, sin pensarlo tanto, cuanto más se deje sorprender por sus propias debilidades, el Clown aparecerá con más fuerza. A escuchar cuando estás en colectivo, a mirar al público a mirar a tus compañeros. Mis pausas, mi respiración son importantes cuando salgo escena.
Amor y humor están de la mano.
I have learned that I still have the ability to be surprised. To be present and enjoy the here and now, without thinking so much, the more you let yourself be surprised by your own weaknesses, the Clown will appear stronger. To listen when you are in a collective, to look at the public and to look at your colleagues. My pauses, my breathing are important when I go out on stage.
Love and humor go hand in hand. -Maria, Workshop Participant

How Much I Have to Learn
Agradezco tanto esta semana de aprendizaje en la cual he conocido cuánto me falta por aprender a ceder el control y el liderazgo. Y a conocer un poco más su labor.
I am so grateful for this week of learning in which I have learned how much I still have to learn to give up control and leadership. And to know a little more about the work of CWB. -Karol, Workshop Participant
