about

The Canadian Clowning Technique (also known as the "Pochinko Method") is a mask-based style of performance created by Richard Pochinko. Seven masks are used, each representing one of the six physical directions (North, South, East West, Above and Below). The final mask is the Clown. Variations include a three-mask technique (based on the three polarities) and a six-in-one mask technique.

Muskeg is an acidic soil type common in Arctic and boreal areas. Muskeg is approximately synonymous with bogland, but muskeg is the standard term in Western and Central Canada, while 'bog' is common elsewhere. The term is of Cree origin, maskek (ᒪᐢᑫᐠ) meaning low lying marsh.
