Greetings friends. Glad to be back at the NY Clown Theater Festival. Has it been a year already? Lots of laughs so far and many more sure to come.
This year the LeRoy Sisters (Aimee German and Jenny Sargent) opened the festival hosting the preview cabaret on Wednesday September 7, 2011. With their delightful vaudeville act complete with dance numbers, numerous costume changes and Canarsie accents, they guided us through a selection of the shows. A great way to kick off the festival, that promises to bring lots of laughs. You can see the full calendar of events on the bricktheater.com website.
Thursday, September 8, 2011 brought Flocked as performed by Audrey Crabtree and Gabriela Munoz. Two birds living in neighboring cages, representing the side by side cultures of the U.S. and Mexico. These are well-matched, strong performers, not to be missed.
Next came Hew Parnham performing Odessey Schodyssey. His clown, Shmoo takes us on a very personal journey. His companion is Petal, a feather from a duster. Many characters emerge from Hew's vivid imagination during the course of this engaging story. Be sure to catch his show on Sunday, September 11th at 5 pm.
A quick disclaimer: Due to technical difficulties I have been unable to post until now, and with time constraints, have kept my comments extremely brief.
