Celebration Barn



I just finished up 2 weeks of training at the Celebration Barn. There were 14 students and it featured training by Avner Eisenberg and Julie Goell. It was by far the best training workshop I have ever been to. There were students from the USA, Canada, Brazil, Columbia and Portugal. It was a great time, but it's good to be home.

Circus!




Hey everyone. The last couple of months have been crazy. I did a kid's camp in New Hampshire, trained at the Celebration Barn in Maine (more to come on that!) and auditioned for Ringling Brothers Circus in New York.

The auditioning process was really interesting. I flew into JFK that morning, took a cab to the show, auditioned, grabbed a hot dog, and flew back to Portland, ME. The audition included an hour movement workshop, a time of Q&A as well as a time to show a prepared 3-5 minute routine.

While there I saw a few familiar faces and met a ton of new clowns. Here area a couple of pictures, but if you want to see any video you will have to check out the Wall Street Journal at:

I'll find out what they thought the end of this month.
