“…Unfortunately, the beneficial act of play is lost as people enter adulthood, despite play's influence throughout the lifespan and its positive effects on early brain development, therapy, work, and well-being in older adults (Brown and Vaughn 2009;Kaduson and Schaefer 2021;Montessori 2013;Stenner, Buckley, and Mosewich 2020).

In this open-access book, authors from a range of disciplines—from geosciences to drama—capture how failure manifests and can be productively supported in a range of undergraduate research experiences. Whether the learning environment is a STEM research lab, a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), a humanities summer undergraduate research experience, a library, or the stage, students can benefit from support when they experience a gap between an expected/desired result and their lived experience. These perspectives and disciplinary contexts address failure from different vantage points and lenses, with the common focal point of nurturing undergraduate success through leveraging failure as an opportunity to build confidence and resilience. Represented are different institutional types, classroom and non-classroom environments, and programmatic and individual efforts.

This chapter aims to establish the possibility and necessity of the high-impact practice of theatrical clowning to be used as a tool for developing failure resiliency in undergraduate researchers. The author shows how theatrical clowning directly engages with failure stimuli through an authentic engagement with fear, play, and laughter. Pulling from theory, pedagogy, and student auto-ethnographic analysis of two case studies from the author’s course, the chapter demonstrates how clowning can be used to develop an awareness of a playful response to fear and confront failure with more resiliency.
