My Kid watched the last Clown Axioms show from the booth.  She loved it.  She was allowed to bring up the lights on a couple of cues and that was a thrill for her.  The woman who ran the light and sound board is so nice to have let My Kid sit up there with [...]

It was a busy day of staying on track so that I could be at the theatre by 5:30 pm for the pick-up rehearsal.  I ran some errands after morning school drop-off.  Then I went home and did the dishes and some other things.  I took a shower and got ready for the show.  Then [...]

After we performed, I went with some of the other clowns and I went to Le Pain Quotidien which was pleasant in the rain.  We shared a basket of bread as we drank our tea and coffee.  One of the women talked about her vision of a little blonde girl in a strawberry field, the [...]

Tonight was the Black Tie, Red Noses fundraising event for Clowns Without Boarders at the Brooklyn Lyceum.  I would have liked to attend. Oh well, it had to be a mommy evening, not a clown evening.

I am still struggling with the production process and how it all went down, how Kendall was disappointed with my work and I was so upset that I shook. Because Kendall told me that I was drifty and unfocused in rehearsal and because of all the talk about stepping up and taking on production tasks, [...]

Tonight I went to Jef Johnson’s Clownlab at Theatrelab. It was refreshing to work in another approach to clowning. I enjoyed playing with relationships without text and watching others in the space. Several of the participants had been to see Clown Axioms this weekend and gave me some lovely comments.

Several of us clowns had our husbands and children in the audience of the 5:30 show. We could hear the three-year-old laughing and commenting from his front row seat. A younger three-year-old was scared. My Kid was thrilled by a visit to the light booth after the show. We had a little party. It was [...]

I was mortified, on the way home, when I realized I had not gone back and hung up my cape properly. I must be a little OCD because I thought about it all the way home. I had gone straight from the stage to the upstairs dressing room where the props are kept, but Kendall [...]

On the way to do the show tonight I passed a poster for the currently playing puppet version of “The Women of Troy” as I opened the door and went down the stairs, through the gunmetal grey narrow basement hallway, past the broken piano and up the back stairs to the sound of the music [...]

My Kid will be there and so will the children of the other women clowns who have offspring old enough to sit through a live performance. My technically minded daughter is also looking forward to getting a closer look at the light booth.
