Clown Me In
Clown Me In has been spreading laughter, fighting inequality and healing through the power of art since 2008, both in Lebanon and abroad. The association began with Sabine Choucair. Today, more than 50 performers have been trained to participate in the annual tours and projects. Since then, Choucair has worked around the world, and the team of clowns, composed of Lebanese as well as refugees, is mainly active in Lebanon, where most of our work (workshops, tours, etc.) is dedicated to empower refugee communities based in Lebanon, such as the Caravan project where we worked on collecting refugees stories, broadcasting it and touring with it in more than 150 towns between Lebanon, Tunisia and Sweden, and Cape project where we gave art and social therapy workshops to more than 700 refugees We believe that all people, regardless of their background and age, deserve to have access to the healing powers of arts, laughter and play. Our workshops and performances provide art therapy and capacity-building that empower people and encourage dialogue between communities. Our vision is to democratize art and use it as a tool for solving social challenges. Our mission is to offer people ways to deal with difficulties through art, laughter and capacity-building workshops and to reach communities through street performances.
