“It is not the clown’s job to make the audience laugh, it is to change the way an audience breathes.”
I went home recently and was surprised to find that many of my old classmates, who I can see regularly like my content and watch my stories, didn’t know that my passion is clown.
Headsup- my passion is clown.
I don’t know how that slipped past so many. It’s something that touches my life daily.
I can’t say I am anywhere close to where I want to be in the art form. It will ce...rtainly be a while until I close the gap,* but here I am. In Los Angeles and otherwise traveling to anywhere I can to amass a body of work that will close the gap between the shapes my voice intends to be heard with and the shapes coming out in the now.
