I am very grateful to all those people who made it possible for me to write the first edition of this work. I would again like to thank my professor and mentor Prof. Dr. Hans Hunfeld for his willingness to take on this project and for his continual support and superb advice. I remain very much indebted to my highly dedicated and conscientious colleague Dr. Sandra Lowerre who unflinchingly took on the daunting task of editing a very long manuscript and maintained her enthusiasm and commitment to the very end. Christopher Wagner proved to be of invaluable assistance in the last phase and I am deeply grateful to him for all the suggestions he made. I am much indebted to Prof. Dr. Christoph Jaffke who was always very ready to share his expertise and experience whenever it was needed and who was tremendously helpful in the final editing phase. Dr. Martyn Rawson provided invaluable and unstinting assistance with the countless translations. I would also like to thank Vivian Gladwell for his unending willingness to generously share his knowledge.

I am grateful to Robert McNeer for his support at different points. I want to thank my mother Prof. Marilyn Lutzker for her very helpful editorial advice. I would also like to thank my former colleagues at the Düsseldorf Waldorf School for their support and understanding and in particular those colleagues who were so helpful in the production of the class play – Martin Schneider, Jens Jensen, Kristina Döring, and Heinz Rzepka.

I am very grateful to the Pädagogische Forschungsstelle des Bundes der Freien Waldorfschulen for their generous financial support of this project.

A special thanks to all my former pupils in the 10^th grade who are now adults, many with their own children, who cheerfully put up with my research inquiries while working very intensively and constructively on their play.

Another very special thanks to the 55 participants in the clowning courses who took the time despite their busy teaching schedules to respond so extensively.

I want to thank Friederike Krost-Lutzker for her acceptance of the demands which this work presented.

Finally, I am deeply indebted to my three children, Samuel, Milena and Tabea whose understanding and love were always a continual source of inspiration.

In preparing the second edition of this book, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Imke Claussen for her invaluable help and support.
