About the Author
Bruce MacPhail
Bruce Macphail first got involved with Clowns Without Borders in the 2004 Balkans project which brought him to perform in orphanages, IDP camps, schools and hospitals in Kosovo/a, Serbia and Bosnia. His clown performance credits range from New York City’s Lincoln Center where he appeared in Comedy and Crumbcakes , various appearances in NYC off off broadway theatres as well as extensive street performance. He is the co-author of The Beak, the Sausage and the Axe, a multi-media clown fairy tale which played at the now defunct Chashama Theater on 42nd and Broadway in NYC, which the New York Times called “hilarious”. Bruce has taught a number of clowning/circus workshops in schools and colleges in the US and abroad. He holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College, NY and an MA from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Currently he is volunteering as a project manager for CWB Project Sudan.
