Today we has practise again a few things for our clowning.
I have had a few costumes for clowns to try out from a camping boss where we go a lot. She found us so funny and good that she will borrow this for a time so I can try it out and make some of my own.
I had two pants 1 very very big and 1 big, also a jack she give us.
It was very funny to have the very very big pant on, but it was so big that I can not do every moves I like to do as clown. So I make a picture of it and take it out. I try then the big one that was for Glen also to big to act with. That one was better for me. I never could have tought that I feel me well in such clothes, I found myselve funny with it on
Glen had done his act with magic hat and I did my stuff as stupid and annoying clown today (this was the first time I did that to see what Glen should do then) At first Glen did'nt like it but then the second time he started to like it.
Normal we had done a few acts but my batteries of my camera his battery was empty and we wil ever see it again to learn about it, so we decided to stop and try next week again.
Today I have practissing with juggling here at home. With my scarfs go it good but with 3 balls stay it hard to do, but I don't give up I ceep practissing.
For magic I have further practissing do tricks with sponge balls.
I have also watched to the movies that I had make of clown Trakel. I like to see it again and again. I have also see a few movies on facebook of other clowns.
This weekend there is a circus in the town where we live. Glen want to go see, so I had reserved places to go see.
At saturday we go for the first time watch to the show. It was a small circus and there where 22 people who want to come see to the show at that hour.
It was a show with may times clowns, animals like dogs,horses, monkeys, a duck, magician, acrobats, etc.
We have laughed all the time just by the magican and acrobats we enjoy the show without laughing.
It was the first time we saw a circus show with so many clowning and with more then one clown or that the clown work with other people. It was amazing that different when the clown is not alone.
We both had look and learn about it.
We liked the show so much that Glen and me have gone again on monday evening at there last show here.
A am glad that we have gone we learned a lot again from it.
I had a few tips from other clowns about some acts you can do and where they have good results with.
Today we have try them out, just as a few others I had in my mind.
Glen wants to do some magic tricks, so I told him that he may do it. We had maked everything ready and he can start. He realy was in a good mood this day. I was madre clown and helped him somethimes or teased him somethimes with crazy things. We had a lot of fun.
I had got a tip to take a silk and say that that was my new dog. I did'nt found him at first but then he came out of Glen his hat, I was so happy to see my dog again. Glen did'nt believe what I said it was no dog but a silk. I said yes it is my puppy.
After that I let him see a couple of tricks I learned my puppy, he as clown valletta teased them my dog and make my angry about it (for fun of course). He laughed a lot then and said that I was a crazy clown.
I had also stuff in my mind so I started to do this act. It was a act with this : I was not so smart with colours. I take my scarfs and call the colours but all wrong, Glen as clown valletta was a smart one and said no no all wrong this is that colour and so on. I repeat it but everytime wrong. At the end I finaly did it wright and can I start to juggle with them.
We have realy enjouy the time of practissing but the time goes then to fast.
It is two weeks ago that we have gon to the circusschool. But with Halloween it was no school.
Today Glen had a bad day with coördination, so he want to try something different then diabolo and juggling. He had try the big ball to balance on it. And how it can nobody know but he can do it. On a carpet but i do it. After a time practissing he can stand on it, and even dance on it. :)
I have further learned to juggle with two balls and diabolo.
Normal the docters told we must stop with gooing but Glen like it there and me too. So we go for fun and Glen had now friends there it is good for him. We ceep like it very much there also we make about some things nothing hahahaha.
Today it is again circusschool. Glen and me looked forward to go again. When we arrived Glen was looking around if the girl where he the last time played with was there and no she was not there.
He try to do diablo but it don't go well today his coördination is very bad and he have no patient to day. He get really quick crazy of the diablo so I said stop with it it don't work now. He was go see what he can do then but he found nothing he want to do.
I have then see with him what he can do, he would like to do salto's again, so I said Ok but rest a lot you have already pain sinds your birtday party. Ok he said and yes I saw that i rest a lot but he enjoyed the salto's. It was more the little moves that go totaly wrong this day.
I have then learned without Glen first diabolo, I am now learning to catch him after my back and then go on with it. Also other things I try to do but I was so looking after Glen that it don't go well. And then what did we see that girl came in the room, Glen go directly to her and he is the rest of the evening stayed by her, and together they have maked a lot of fun also with big guy's. They teached them how to do more difficult salto's. For the girl it was no problem to learn it, but for Glen it was to heavy. I went to him and told him that he may do it in his way so he had fun. And he listen to me :) and have a lot of fun.
I have then go juggling with napkens, It went so good after a lot training here at my home, that they said that i can now learn to juggle with balls. With 1 ball was no problem, than I take 2 balls and after a while practising it start to go.
I have then also learned to use a lasso, that was also funny to do.
Today it was Glen his birthday, I had promised him that we go not learn today and make a wonderfull special day of it.
I had practis a lot for some new acts special to do for Glen his birthday.
When he was awake He first watched TV and then I have made my hair as clown madre and put make up on me.
Glen was so happy that he know that i go acting special for him and do new tricks.
He could not wait and I started then with my first act. It was the first time I did mimme all alone, but Glen really enjoyed it. He have laughed a lot and he even came to kick my invisible wall away so I feld almost. He found it so funny :)
After that I did a trick with something not can move and than fall over it, Glen could stop laughing then. Ik did it a while because he realy liked it. My dog did'nt understand why I was doing all that things hihi.
We also have done the chair dance Glen realy liked it, but my ending with the flower he found not so good he want to do "an garde" like Daniele. O ok my mistake I know it now that I must do the same at the end. He was very tired so he taked a break then But he came quickly back play and enjoy the rest of the party it was to fine to let it stop he said.
I had put the music on and he want it very loud, I said Ok it is only one day of the year your birthday. So the music went realy loud and we go dance his favorit dances, like the birddance, plop dance etc.
But for Glen it was enough he had pain and was so tired that we then just stopped do tings together and I did one last act for him.
When his daddy came home he told him that it was his best birthday that he ever had have. That gave me a great feeling, I wanted to give him a day he realy loved and I have given him that.
Today was our second time we went to the circusschool.
I was already very tired but we decided to go any way.
When we where there Glen was again very sad en crying for his diablo, he realy liked to do it and want to learn more of it. I told him that he can practis now just like me in de school and that when I have time we go by a new one and a better one and that I ga ask in the school how you can see it is a good one.
He try one of them but it was not the same and he can't do the tricks that he could wis his. and then he get very sad. We have talked with him and because he liked it so much and me too I have made a compromis with the person of the school and we may go by one after the lesson at there home a few km further and that night.
Glen was very happy when i told him the news and started to learn furter with the better diablo's. Afer a few moments he started to feel that I was wright and that they go much better.
I have try to do a salto then also, but o my God, nothing for me I am to scared to do it.
I have talked a few moments with the teachers and how we do clowning and that i found it so bad that you here in Belguim have not much chose to learn clowning. She said that it is indeed not so easy special not like we want it. The most are workshops for adults and not for children aloud.
She have asked me then what I do and how I do it and what i want to do with it.
She found it already good that we do it for fun and that I have so much inspiration for acts.
She told me that she will tell me a few things, first I must continue with the circusschool as long as i feld me good with it, even this is a school for kids until jong adults. At this way Glen can play with children and both of us feel us good there. I can help them if there is a problem with Glen.
The next thing that I must do was not listen to what other people say hoe don't feel a clown inside him, we like to do it and Glen enjoy of it so I must go on with it. She saw a short pieces there and said it was already good and wtih do it more it get better and better you must do it with much practising.
And as last I must learn to trust myself an learn my selve again. She know that it is hard for me, but she is going to help me with it so good as she can. Here husband give in this school also lessons but he give in a bigger circusschool real clowning. She have asked him a few things now and he have give me some tips now.
With talking the time go very quick and the lessons was over.
We went with them then to there place and by a lot of stuff. Glen has choosen a red diablo again but the best, and sticks for the diablo like Daniele had with also a better wire. He have also choosen a set of Poi kiwido also with red color. I have then also choosen a new diablo so Glen and me have each our own diablo set. I have got for free a new wire for my sticks.
Glen was so happy with all his stuff, that when he came home he must show it all to his dad.
Today it was just like other years in Belgium open companies day.
We have been going to a hospital to watch different things they do there and Glen had learn how you must put in a katheter by people. Thank God they let him practis on a special thing and not on a human. He was so scared to do it wrong that his handcloves after that short time was full sweat.
We have also go seen at an other place how they make hamburgers, and other meat from the pig and cow. glen had the chance for there of learning how you make a hamburger.
Today Glen was learning diablo tricks and his diablo felt and was broken. He was very sad then. I have promised him that i shell by a new and better one.
