Even though I'm taking a break from teaching silks for a wee while, I still managed to get some gorgeous photos with the incredible Ana Clara with the beautiful autumn colors.

The Red Nose Playshop: Finding Your Clown

 It’s been my absolute joy and pleasure to have guided these absolute fools for the last 13 weeks to hone their innate stupidity and find their own unique clown.

Thanks to you all for trusting me and bringing more joy and play to the world.

Finally!! An event that happened!!

 With so many cancellations of festivals and events these days, it was awesome to be a part of an event that actually happened!  Thank you Nelson Christmas Market for finding a way!

Here are a few shots from the day...

Kia ora Theatre of Liberators!
