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.
