Walking tall, being silly, and having fun with lil ones!

The last two weeks have been very exciting for this clown. Busy as one can be! Yay for SPRING!

 Jpeace has been walking tall on stilts for a bunch of different events such as Pdx red dress party, The Bridge to Brews 10k run, and a very special procession for a celebration of life for 7yr old little girl whom passed away. The procession was a hard one but a huge pay off inside. Being happy go lucky in the face of sadness is every clowns mission, and a group of us took that mission very seriously armed with music and bubbles we brought smiles to all the little ones.

All the meanwhile Jpeace has been in the studio creating handcrafted clown noses ~ http://www.facebook.com/pages/JPeace/150319788327717



Large medium and kidz available at reasonable prices. Inquire at peacestopswar@gmail.com

Which leads me to the next chapter of this clowns life. Teaching. Yes Thats right Jpeace has been at it again empowering the minds of lil ones into the light of circus arts with Circus Cascadia
http://www.circuscascadia.com/

Teaching kids stilts, walking globe, tight rope, juggling, flower sticks, poi, plate spinning, Uni cycle riding, hula hooping, balancing, diablo, and the art of being silly has been a pure delight! Check out  Circus Cascadia this weekend at the big earth day celebration

 and make sure to live life to the silliness!

Blessings to all

Busy busy clown :O)

Jpeace has been at it again bringing smiles all around with fire and love. Here's a look into the last two weeks in the life of a clown:
The Halfway Home event, held at the Refuge, was a fundraiser for art and theme camps related to the burning man arts community. Spinning fire was cold and wet for this warm crowd. The smiles and fun just kept the flames a going! Good music and fun vibes.

The Bridgetown fashion revue, held at the Alberta rose theatre, was a new one for me. As a clown fashion model I juggled knives and chopped apples for a very well dressed audience. It felt like this clown had reached a high point with the extravagant clothing that was for show. Head dresses, Kilts and bicycle gear all worn by a fun group of talented performers.

Motion Magic had a kids after school circus camp at the Buckman school. It was so much fun teaching the art of juggling and being silly. It was a great experience all around, and I feel its with the youth that we can make a difference through art, and play. Juggle on little ones!

The Old Town Bohemian Cabaret, at the Alberta Rose Theatre. A cabaret show with some vaudeville twist. This one has been a long road a coming but was well worth it when you heard the audience erupt with cheers. A fun cast and some talented singing, I really enjoyed the end of the night with this one.

Full speed ahead into the next chapter, this clown is ready for more.Spring is here and with summer right around the corner keep your eyes open for more clown action and fire fun from yours truly

Glowing for Threshold :Chinese New Year

This last weekend was one to remember. Remember the past, your community, and what your intentions are for the new year. I had the pleasure of performing glow light shows both Saturday and Sunday night with my partner in laughs, Jill Schofield, at

THRESHOLD: CHINESE NEW YEAR
A Benefit for The Portland Artist Clinic
http://mythreshold.net/


...A TWO DAY JOURNEY INTO THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT (2011) The event brings awareness and support to the Portland Artist Clinic, a volunteer organization providing community-based, integrative primary care and urgent health care services to Portland artists and musicians who are unable to attain health insurance or who lack access to primary care through their existing insurance. 

It was a blast. The refuge was beautifully decorated with an array of lights and Chinese themed decor. The music was great  and created a awesome space for the happy people of Portland to enjoy a  fun dance party in the name of supporting The Portland Artist Clinic.  Two nights of good music, talented performers, and a crowd filled with smiles... definitely one to remember!

On the hunt for laughter.

Jpeace is on the hunt for laughter again. After a fun filled summer of festivals, street fairs, and parties, "The offices of Jpeace" have been hard at work.  Training, creating, rehearsing, and trying to stay warm with laughter during this cold winter. As spring gets closer this clowns smiles are getting bigger and better.  More tricks, different characters, and most importantly more FUN! So remember to keep your eyes out for the wild and fun antics of Jpeace this spring/summer, and book now for some added spice to your party/event.
