    A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Alfred University Clowning as an Act of Social Critique, Subversive and Cathartic Laughter, and Compassion in the Modern Age by Danny Gray In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Alfred University Honors Program May 9th, 2016 Under the Supervision of: Chair: Stephen Crosby Committee Members: M. Nazim Kourgli David Terry “Behind clowns, sources of empathy, masters of the absurd, of humor, they who draw me into an inexplicable space-time capsule, who make my tears flow for no reason. Behind clowns, I am surprised to sense over and over again humble people, insignificant we might even say, stubbornly incapable of explaining, outside the ring, the unique magic of their art.” - Leandre Ribera “The genius of clowning is transforming the little, everyday annoyances, not only overcoming, but actually transforming them into something strange and terrific. It is the power to extract mirth for millions out of nothing and less than nothing.” - Grock 1 Contents Introduction 3 I: Defining Clown 5 II: Clowning as a Social Institution 13 III: The Development of Clown in Western Culture 21 IV: Clowns in the New Millennium 30 Conclusion 39 References 41 2 The black and white fuzz billowed across the screen as my grandmother popped in a VHS tape: Saltimbanco, a long-running Cirque du Soleil show recorded in the mid-90’s.

Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three, eight year old boys Christopher Byers, Steven Branch and Michael Moore in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime – Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation; all three went on to lose 18 years of their lives - imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. How the documentary came to be, is in itself a key part of the story of Damien Echols’ fight to save his own life.
