So excited for tonight and tomorrow! Our first festival!! 🥳🎉

Huge thanks to UMA and Open Space for Arts & Community for giving us this opportunity as a new and emerging group of clowns, and especially to Elizabeth---the visionary behind the TAKE10 Festival and long-time member of UMA---for supporting us in this work. You are an inspiration and we are so grateful for you 🤡

We've been rehearsing our tails off these past few weeks and are champing at the bit to finally show our new (and first-ever) devised piece in front of an audience. Join us on Vashon for an incredibly moving and fun show full of wonder and shenanigans! ❤️

A few of us hanging with Clown Director and Master Teacher of Cirque du Soleil during his workshop tour last weekend and learning the liberation clowning brings (Rachel missing from this pic). Thank you, Stefan -- if you have a chance to take his workshop, we highly recommend it🙏❤️
