Caroline wasn’t just the teacher of the clown workshop at this festival. No. She was a guide, a powerful inspiration for everyone who dared to take that step of putting themselves out there, of looking inward and outward through the lens of the clown. She was that outstretched hand at just the right moment. That clear, honest mirror where each person could truly see themselves.
Because Caroline doesn’t just teach technique. Caroline teaches you to look at yourself without judgment, to laugh at who you are, to embrace your clumsiness as pure gold. She has that rare gift of making you feel safe in vulnerability. Of giving you a push exactly when needed—but always with a moving gentleness. She has that invisible something that touches the essential, that opens doors we had unknowingly shut.
Each class was a journey, an emotional rollercoaster, and a mirror where every student could finally see themselves as they truly are: enough, authentic, brave. A safe space where making mistakes was a treasure, where crying was also a celebration, and where laughing was an act of freedom.
