Awrad-Clown Me In has 12 years of experience in the field, having worked on a multitude of projects, mainly focused on performance and skills-based training.
We are very invested in working with young and vibrant people from different communities. We have given in-depth training in clowning, performance, and storytelling to over 300 people, some of whom are now doing their own projects with our support, or performing to support themselves. Many of these participants have worked to break down barriers within their own communities.
In the course of our performance projects, we have recorded more than 250 personal stories from around Lebanon and beyond and produced ten different performances, including street theater, clown, and storytelling shows that deal with issues such as the importance of education, the dangers of discrimination, and the rights of the child. These shows have been performed more than 500 times in Lebanon, Jordan, and the Balkans, Greece, Germany and other places. Because of this, we have grown our capacity for mobilising large groups of people and uniting them through storytelling and performance, while giving the arts a social and humanitarian role within our work.
As we have worked consistently with transparency, authenticity, and honesty, we have found great appreciation for our ability to affect communities in a positive manner and have formed numerous partnerships and networks within Lebanon and beyond, and believe we can add our skills to the ALF network in this capacity.
