This weekend I’m going to let my desires to do clown work slide by the wayside. Jef Johnson is teaching a workshop at Theatrelab and I would like to spend my weekend there. But, it’s not a public performance so it doesn’t get that clear-the-deck priority. I already know Jef and enjoy his approach. The topic appeals.
I always enjoy talking with Jef about what clown things he’s been thinking during this last leg of touring with Slava’s Snowshow.
Yet, between herding my child to her scheduled soccer game, ice skating party, piano lesson and religious education class, I fear that I can’t allow myself to enjoy art supply explorations without my kid. Although as I write this, it seems to me that perhaps my daughter and I may be in need of some time spent with Play-doh, tempera paint and crayons.
