A Circus Clown is a Performing Artist that has the unique ability to entertain as a living Cartoon.
Using make-up characterization, costuming and props, this acting form is brought to it's highest levels of entertainment.

I am a Classical American Circus Clown...I am still learning not to get hurt when I do Pratfalls...
I try not to show to much flesh. I can be very funny, but not all my gags go over funny at first...It takes time to make a gag work for all audiences...not every one will always get a joke, or a bit. You rework a stunt, again and again. About the 8th or 9th time you get something that starts to work...
Classical Amercian Circus Clowning isn't the only style of Clowning ,and I know that...but for me I believe it is the Funniest....

Rodney

In the 1970s a group of men and women with few ties to the circus emerged from the counterculture revolution and took to the streets, where they discovered how to entertain an audience. At a time when the Big Top was beset by shabby excess, escalating costs, and competition from movies and TV, the young performers dedicated themselves to skill and intimacy, beginning the movement Ernest Albrecht describes as the "new American circus", a reinvention of the circus as an authentic form of art. The first - and most radical - aspect of this movement was its revival of the traditions of the great one-ring shows of Europe and Russia. Focusing on artistry, not spectacle, the new American circus incorporated such allied arts as music and dance and embraced a notion of ensemble that was compatible with the communal ethic of the seventies. Working from interviews and other primary sources, Albrecht traces this history to the present (including current controversies over animal performers and efforts to secure subsidies), sketching the leading players in the new circus and profiling the shows they founded.

Next time I talk to Ernie, I'll have to tell him you liked the book!

What makes this book so interesting to me is I am still very much a Hippie from the tradition of Jesus Tribes... Rainbow Family of Living Light. Busking is where I got much of my start, as a clown, the New American Circus really is a Circus that has much of it's start from the CounterCulture.

New American Circus Clowning, is still Circus Clowning. Take the show that you do now out to the streets, and try Busking every day for 6 to 8 hours for a month, and try to make a living. Get together with other Clowns , Jugglers, and Twisters and you have the Beginnings of a New American Circus

The Pickle Family Circus was a New American Circus

Very true. I'm not sure that a lot of people understand or realize this.

Exactly.

Though, ironically, much of what was once considered "New American Circus" has now grown to an entirely different point from where it started, gaining popularity, becoming big, and having massive budgets as major production companies.

Even the innovators of "new vaudeville" (which every variety entertainer used to seem to want to be associated with up till a few years ago) are all growing old.

The newest innovations exist in youth circus, and arts centers and schools which sometimes occupy interesting spaces like old warehouses. Circus these days is often inter disciplinary presented via theater productions or club acts or artsy stuff of its own accord, even high end corporate entertainment.

Not every one understandes Rainbow Family but there are over 25 million Rainbow Hippies, world wide. Many of them are performers, clowns, jugglers, wire walkers and twisters... Busking for Hippies is one way that many of them make money to get them to the next rainbow gathering. Perform, Honorarium, and travelinng. Because of this life style, they become some of the best Variety Arts entertainers in the world...

For the REAL TRUTH about the Rainbow Family , I suggest you contact THE STAR-BANNER ( Ocala's Daily Parer ) or the Marion County ( Fl.) Sheriff Dept.

Every year 'The Rainbows" have an annual gathering in the national forrest just east of Ocala. They INVADE stores in large groups...tear open food packages and eat what they can before being chased from the store...they pan-handel ( some call it busking because they are playing " music") and if you refused they curse at you... they believe in free love and sex, a large majority are drug addicts. For the most part they are rude , filthy people who think they are above the rules BECAUSE THEY ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

Over the years some have developed performing skills that could get them legitimate work with a show. We have hired one a couple of times but none has lasted more than a week, mostly for their refusal to keep themselves clean...

PLEASE don't think I'm being too harsh..I speake from vast personal expierence... ASK any NON-rainbow person who has had a personal encounter with one.

:There are over 25 million Rainbows... world wide ,yes there are bad Apples in all groups...I HAVE BEEN GOING TO RAINBOW GATHERINGS for 20 years. The Ocala gathering that you talked about is a very small regional gathering. The Rainbow Family at large are loving and kind people...many of them are nomadic, some do drugs...but drugs are discouraged. How would you get them into a gathering any ways...the forest service put up road blocks and everyone is Drug Searched with Dogs. How many people do you know that smoke pot...?

the above facebook site are rainbow pictures...I am the Hippie near the bottom of the pictures... in some of them I am on a loaded touring bicycle wearing the Tam

please watch these two video to get a better idea what rainbow is all about from a rainbow point of view. Yes the Hippie with the Touring Bicycle talking about the Lord is me...


One thing I have done in all the Rainbow Gatherings I have gone to is Busk, as a way to make aliving...as I traveled the Rainbow Trail by loaded touring Bicycle...

I have probably spoken to or have been close enough to smell several hundred Rainbow people. Not one.(.in case you don't understand the term not one, it means absolutely none ) was polite. I heard several use lanquage and make STRONG sexual refrences in front of children as young as 5. I once saw a R.P. hold a door open for a old women using a walker.VERY NICE, except for the cursing when she didn't tip him. You say every group has some bad apples. This is true,even clown forum has at least one. The bad apples in the Rainbow Family were ROTTEN many,many years ago and sorry but I think it has spread to almost everyone.

The Ocala gathering is one the largest in the world (ABC,CNN,FOX, etc). It IS NOT a " small regional" event. Members come from all over the world. Sorry Joey, on this subject ,I'm on the FRONT LINE. So you can save your cow manure for someone else.

They really believe, like you do, that God has chosen them and that they are on a mission to free the world and to spread the joy of GOD They are willing to cheat, steal,and lie to make a point. They have absolutely NO ETHICS. Maybe if they behaved in a more pleaseant manner and STOPPED trying to ramm stuff down people throats and yelling and repeating the SAME OLD CRAP over and over and over again, maybe people would listen to their message. That and perhaps, get a haircut and take a bath.

Thanks Jimbow...

Ive got 30 thousand miles on loaded touring bicycle, there was a time when I would pull a small trailer with my clown stuff and Busk along the way for traveling money...

I'm at a rainbow gathering just out side of Quartzite Arizona, real close to the Colorado River...

Interesting site,thanks for sharing. Two things of special note,

1, Although you claim 25,000,000 members, they only printed 500 offical guides. That's 1 for every 50,000 members. WOW ,you guys really DO like to share.... But it IS available online at a secret url with password protection. Pretty damn secretive for a group of kind "CHRISTIANS" . Makes one wonder what they want to hide... Also has a warning NOT to share secret URL ,password OR CONTENTS with ANYONE. That's high security for PEACE loving people.

2.I'm confused my the instructions for attending the gathering....DO NOT CONSENT TO SEARCHES...seems like a strange request for law-abiding citizens who don't use drugs...but I think we know you were only "kiddikg" when you said that.

This thread is bringing a song to mind from the movie bubble boy..

But the important question is whether you can take that bike on the train or a bus.

The Rainbow Family of Living Light is not a christian group. There are christian Rainbows, I am one of them. Some of the christian Rainbows will set up Jesus Camp at the gatherings, this gives us the chance to share our faith, with other non christian Rainbows,and creates a christian commuity for other Christians . The reason Hippies and Rainbows were even brought up was a quote from Ernest Albrecht

[B]I got my start this way as a clown, Street Performing, Busking, and Training from some of the best Ringling Clowns out there...by the way one of my great friends from Ringlings time past is also called Jimbo. I just happen to be a clown and a Hippie from the Rainbow Traditions. Rainbows are found all over the World, not just in the United States. My connection to the Circus is more New American and the Style I clown in is Circus...."NoJoe's Clown Circus" is in the style of THE New American

You are entitled to your beliefs and are free to live YOUR life in any manner you choose. If the Rainbows are not Christians WHY do they ALL refer to themselves as " The Children of God"

When my wife and I first got married we spent 2 winters with the Rainbows as various camps. I was only 20 and my wife was 18 we had fun and made some lasting friendships. We had no real problem with the rampant drug abuse (we didn't partipate )., BUT what really drove us away WAS THE FILTH and the stealing.Theft was worse than the drugs , sex and filth COMBINED.

I had reason to speak with you on the phone about 6 weeks ago . How you spoke to me on the phone confirmed my supections.......In my opinion YOU are NO MORE of a Christian than my dog. Christians do not treat people the way you treated me. BTW my dog has a bath every week.

Mr. Burnam...

I have de-friended you because I'm somewhat fussy about who I call a friend and you don't meet my standards, which are quite low.

I have also started an ignore list. Congradulations YOU won first place.

And this IS a CLOWN FORUM, where according to my understanding we are supposed to discuss matters of a clown nature. ALSO they have an ANTI-SPAM rule. In reviewing a number of your post, I noticed that they ALL contain an extreme amount of self-promotion material. OVER and OVER again you keep posting the same stuff. I didn't believe it the first time, or the 10th time or 100th time.

Good Bye. Rodney I wish you inner peace. May God bless you.

If you don't like my posts, threads then why read them. The reason Hippies and Rainbows were even brought up was a quote from Ernest Albrecht and the new American circus, street performing...etc, Clowning...

If you are posting on my threads...that have nothing to do with the subject...it is Spam. Please if you are not writing about the Subject of my threads please don't post...it is spam.

Hey Normal,
I find it curious that you have yet to respond to Jimbo's 2 postings about the alleged profanity you used when talking with him on the phone. I also find it interesting that while you claim that the Ocala gathering of Rainbows is a just small regional group, Jimbo claims that it is actually one of the largest gatherings in the world. It can't be both... which is it?

You have no problem continuously telling everyone on this forum over & over again that you are a Christian & man of God, but you seem very reluctant in discussing any allegations that might dispute or question that. I'm really not trying to "pick a fight" with you, but people who are the most adamant & outspoken on any subject always receive the most scrutiny. Care to respond?

Love you Kind Folks...NormaL T. Joey

Normal,
Please do not SPAM my Facebook page with your personal links anymore. If you have something to post that is related to stilt walking, that is perfectly fine. But if all you are doing is plugging your own agenda, I would greatly appreciate it if you kept it off my page. Being considerate & respectable to others is one of the many aspects of being a true Christian.

Don't know what you are talking about...it sounds like you are spaming me...by posting things that have nothing to do with the thread

Don't know what I'm talking about? You gotta be kidding me! You know good & well that you posted a link to your Facebook page (which has nothing to do with stilt walking) on my stilt walking Facebook page. Are you "Christian" enough to admit you did it? And while you're at it, are you "man" enough to admit or deny you cussed Jimbo out on the phone? Somehow I doubt it. Please prove me wrong.
