„Play has a serious purpose: to be reminded of the importance of play in the world where its value is too often diminished. If society permits them to, clowns have the ability to do so. Play can just be frivolous, and that kind of play is important, but play can also be serious and serious play reconnects us with how to live our lives and reminds us what we should value. Play helps us to create the link between reality and imagination, and to bring more creativity and joy into everyday life. Clown show us the way.“ – from Serious Play
