'When I put the clown nose on for the first time, I felt an electricity of permission to finally be myself. It was a feeling that could not be captured through the limitations of verbal language. Every animal impulse in my body that had previously been repressed wanted to fly out. I felt like I couldn’t “control” my body. I was silly, impulsive, grief-stricken, angry, frustrated, and above all else, I wanted to give and receive love more than I ever had before'. - Lou Jurgens
