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

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

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

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
