We are returning to Colombia to team up with CaliClown and Pasos de Payaso as we collaborate and develop sustainable workshops and shows. We are in year 4 of a fun, inspiring and funny partnership with our friends in Colombia.

An amazing experience covering over 2000 km along the Ecuador/Colombia border. We worked with UNHCR/ACNUR, CDH and Narices Rojas as a part of our two-year partnership with our colleagues in Ecuador.

April 2013. Moshe Cohen (CWB founder) traveled to Cali Colombia where he collaborated with the CaliClown group to offer a workshop and create a show to bring to the Siloé neighborhood of Cali, Colombia.

Selena, Lucho and Leah are returning to partner with our friends at Terre des Hommes. Follow this link for on-the-road updates, stories and photos.

CWB is continuing its partnerships with clowns in Colombia. Our partnerships began in 2009 with teams of clowns, performers and organizers. This year, after an amazing trip to Risaralda, we are returning to share and collaborate at Encuentro 2012. David is representing us there, stay tuned for updates.

Tim Cunningham will be working with Barnaby King and the Pasos providing teacher trainings and workshops. The collaborative team will create a touring performance with local children and from it, they will develop a sustainable training program for the next three years. The team will also consist of hospital clowns from Manizales and a social worker from Bogotá. This project marks new directions for CWB as we work towards bringing the joy and developing systems so that the joy can sustain itself everywhere we go. Follow us at this page for updates and stories from the field!

CWB is continuing its partnerships with clowns in Colombia. Our partnerships began in 2009 with teams of clowns, performers and organizers. This year, we are returning to partner with CaliClown for workshops and show creation. We also plan to visit communities in Risaralda to continue partnerships with rural coffee farmers and their families.

Tim is representing CWB this year at the Encuentro, teaching, presenting and facilitating interventions a la Clowns Without Borders. CWB is grateful to the organizers and inspiring forces behind the Encuentro. The Clown Encuentro is a prime example of sustainability in community based clowning and social circus.

CWB has completed a most wonderful collaboration with Terre Des Hommes this spring!

We offered a 5 week training in Les Cayes and Grand Goave, bringing in 7 artists! We collaborated with Terre des Hommes for the second time, building on a project started in September 2010. Our volunteer artists taught (and played with) the same group of community leaders and children to continue the training in circus skills, physical comedy and the psycho-social relief.
