For the second episode in this podcast series, I speak to professional clown Maja Ringstad. This was recorded in June 2021
Some things that come up in our conversation that you might want further references for are:
Maja works in a clown collective, called Clownkliniken - https://clownkliniken.se/
The story of the polar bear and the dog playing together - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bcl0yrHPwk
We talked about the Pueblo (or sacred) clowns of New Mexico and Arizona, but it didn't make the cut. But I would like to add some links here as it is a fantastic cross-over between tricksters and clowns. However, there is very little information about the clowns as it is part of a living religion.
This is a list of this year's Native American feast days which mentions clowns from the Taos Pueblo - https://www.newmexico.org/events/native-american/feast-days/?fbclid=IwAR0eU6R8qngeVpq4WIvALnv0yIpiErdCcKYc9H1pCQH4juujRpmGUBBnBYM
This is a Wikipedia page with a brief overview of the Pueblo/ sacred clowns - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo_clown
Comedian Stuart Lee has also made a documentary about the clowns:
