The Work
Bee Infinite offers your community a creative renovation through professionally designed experiences. We collaborate with teams of artists, anthropologists, on site NGO’s, Ecology experts, among others, depending on each community’s unique needs.
Through personalized interdisciplinary designs, with Clowning at its core, we inspire genuine community engagement.
Bring an innovative and transformational impact to your community through one or a combination of the following components:
FACE CHALLENGES IN NEW CREATIVE WAYS THROUGH CLOWNING!
CLOWN WORKSHOPS
Be immersed in a personalized experience of joyful collaboration, and together unveil infinite possibilities that open up for your community to face its unique challenges in surprising new ways.
Your community will tap into valuable information that can diagnose key elements in your circle to either empower, resignify, and/or integrate core issues and challenges.
Together we will laugh, cry out of inspiration, stay silent before a truly beautiful moment, run, play, or simply look curiously into each other’s eyes.
CLOWNFERENCES
Bring your community together and help a curious Clown co-create meaningful insights with enthusiasm, innocence, and the exact pinch of ingenuity. With pre-designed topics based on the needs and challenges your community is facing, Clownferences pose questions for everyone to naturally get involved through fun and simple interactions.
Open paths for inspiration and offer new ways to nurture life in your community with joy, curiosity, and awe.
Together we will personalize your Clownference or create one just for you!
SHOWS
Shows are playful, poetic, and deeply emotional experiences that naturally inspire community engagement. Bee Infinite shows weave diverse artistic languages with Clowning at its core. We collaborate with a community of sensitive artists to bring you a moving and unique experience.
Together we can create a completely personalized show for your community, or offer one of our shows and adapt it to your specific interests.
COMMUNITY CIRCLES
Community circles are the perfect complement to ground and integrate the valuable information that derive from our shows, Clownferences, and/or workshops.
Together we carefully design an experience to open key conversations for your community to listen to one another honestly and with open transparency, and offer tools for approaching situations where your circle might feel stuck or disempowered. Through simple actions, like breathing together, playing with our eyes, creating sonic landscapes with our voices and bodies, and much more, we can reignite our inspiration to resignify core experiences in new realistic ways!
Why Clowning?
A red nose is a human heart sharing Life.
When you open your heart and natural creativity, a flood of infinite possibilities becomes available for everyone!
Let's Clown!
Lao-Tzu wrote: ‘As within, so without.’
Clowning can be a fertile ground to freely explore our inner landscapes with respectful curiosity. By connecting with others through joy, honesty, and playfulness, we explore our outer landscapes.
Active creativity invites us all to revalue our place and our voices in this co-created symphony called Life.
How are we to integrate our societies, ecosystems, and personal challenges within and without? Together we can freely play and resignify our relationship to ourselves, while connecting to our social and natural ecosystems in renovated ways.
Let’s open our hearts and experience the beauty of holding each other's hand, looking into each other's eyes, smelling chocolate, or becoming humble before the greatness of a very very tall tree…
Some of Our Past and Ongoing Projects
Allow yourself and your community to share your infinite potential!
Metropolitan Group
(International social change agency)
Mexico and Central America
‘Her style is captivating and energetic. I knew her experience as a Clown combined with her interdisciplinary artistic experience would leverage our work and expand our impact.
I have witnessed Adriana’s passion and amazing ability to create trust-based environments to facilitate diverse stakeholders reach agreements and develop strategies to achieve common goals.
Since 2018 we have worked with hundreds of activists and created two Clown shows, and around 10 video pieces with Clown sketches that convey a narrative that promotes human rights and civic space.’
Mr. Rodolfo Cordova Alcaraz
Executive Vice-President
Solevoci: All We Need Is Voice
Viganella, Italy
For three Summers in a row (2022-24) along with artist Ulrica Loredana de Georgio we explored the profound and amazingly inspiring act of sharing our true inner voices with openness and joy. Through a deeply moving and fun workshop we opened a space for true personal and community transformation. We laughed, cried, sang, contemplated Nature’s beauty, and so much more!
‘Witnessing the birth of so many Clowns was a privilege, knowing mine was the epiphany of a new possibility.’
- Carlo Mastellone
‘I found a key to open my heart to myself and to the world without being afraid of my fears and my fragility.’
- Chiara D’Agostino
Las Cañadas, Bosque de Niebla A.C.
Veracruz, Mexico
Since 2019 a beautiful collaboration has been sharing inspiration and joy with this internationally respected agro ecological community located in Veracruz, Mexico.
Through different shows, workshops, and every day interactions, Las Cañadas’ farmer community has benefited from Bee Infinite’s designs and components. A strong collaboration with our Clown Company 'Yo Soy Semilla' has infused this experience with beauty and deep joy!
‘Adri is someone who takes her red nose to the bottom of experiences, and since her red nose is her heart, her love perceives the aroma of each community’s and individual’s needs.
With this incredible instinct, she creates a space for relationships to tap into its noblest purity, reminding us of what essentially moves us, with a great dose of laughter, towards our most cherished and shared goals.’
- Estefanía Oliveras, cooperative member
Cornell University / Parson’s New School
New York, U.S.A. (2022-25)
‘Adriana's dynamic understanding of the social and personal transformations possible through Clowning, body work, and healing is truly remarkable. Her unique perspective and pedagogy gained through her life experiences, decades of Clowning/performing and her ability to co-create powerful works with communities, makes her an incredible teacher, performer, and facilitator.
Her mastery over the material and ability to improvise on the spot, make each workshop and Clown experience unique.'
- Emilio Rojas,
Professor of the Art Department (APP)

Laboratory on Humor & Human Rights
Padova University, Italy (2023)
Humour can be a gateway to many emotions that can in turn make people advance in human rights. It opens doors to complex issues, persuades us emotionally, breaks down social barriers, challenges the absurdities of institutional power and creates communities.
With a diverse group of 17 individuals, including human rights advocates, academics, practitioners, and two Clowns, we delved into the intriguing connections between humour and human rights. We reflected on the ethical use of humour in relation to human rights, leveraging humour for education and communication, and the barriers and challenges faced in utilising humour in these contexts.
Cornell University / Parson’s New School New York, U.S.A. (2022-25)
A red nose is a human heart sharing Life. In this workshop we opened our hearts in Gratitude, transparency, and deep respect. We co-created a fertile playground to connect through inspiration, innocence and Loving Presence, and witnessed the greatness of multiplying our joy through sharing it!
In a beautiful retreat in the woods, with carefully selected workshops, we shared our natural creative/artistic self.
About
My name is Adriana Medina and I have been Clowning since 2001 in hospitals, indigenous communities, nursing homes, agro ecological communities, urban contexts, theaters, and more.
To me Clowning is a way for opening our hearts to the Life we are, and allowing creativity to come forth as a spontaneous way of being in the world, inviting us to co-create our everyday reality through Presence, simplicity, and awe.
My main interest is to inspire genuine community engagement through interdisciplinary designs with Clowning at its core.
In 2018 I founded 'Bee Infinite' and co-founded the Clown Company 'Yo S oY Semilla'.
Since then I’ve been engaged in designing community networks through artistic practices that not only sprout from professional artists, but from the hearts of diverse communities, recognizing our deep creative nature as humans.
A central ingredient in these design practices is my bachelor’s degree in Communication and a constant interdisciplinary collaboration with teams of artists, anthropologists, on site NGO’s, Ecology experts, among others, depending on each community’s unique needs.
I offer useful tools that invite communities to go through their own challenges with insightfulness and an open heart. In this way, we are nurtured by the collective wisdom that naturally sprouts from playful creativity.
I’ve collaborated with dozens of NGO’s, and for the past 5 years with ISMG, a strategic communication agency working in the US, Mexico, and Central America, creatively inviting social change.
In 2020 the American World Jewish Service, headquarters in NYC, offered my Clown Company, Yo S oY Semilla, a two years grant to work on the ‘Nationwide Strategic Communication Workshops through Clowning Art, in collaboration with Impacto Social Metropolitan Group’, sharing joy and valuable tools for social change to communities across Mexico. The innovative and transformational impact was so clear that we have been offered 3 more years of this grant to go deeper and offer new Clown components and tools to continue supporting and inspiring community engagement.
My professional and long time training in Voice, Yoga, Qi-Gong, and Reiki, embrace this journey with compassion and deep listening practices, combined with the methodologies of artistic processes.
