Karma & The Clown

'Karma' is created, they say, by thoughts, words and deeds... 

This is a story of how I became a clown; specifically, at a friend's son's B'day party...:D

  "If she wants to be a clown, then let her be the clown of the class", said the class VIII teacher Ms. Ghouse... She may have said it sarcastically; I tend to take things at face value...

 I finally dressed up as a clown at a kid's B'day party... But even as the idea of doing so was taking shape, I came across a workshop to be conducted by someone whose show my little niece Diva and I had really admired almost one and half years ago...

"Popo! Tie your shoe-laces, or you'll fall down!" All the kids sitting up front inside Prithvi Theatre cried out to help the over-confident and bungling clown... We loved him, adults and kids alike, in his show about Popo and the Frog King. I got in touch with Rupesh Tillu on fb and jumped at the chance of training at a workshop with him.

The Clowns in September (9th -11th), 2016, found themselves under guidance from Rupesh Tillu. Pic by a friend.

A workshop where we learned among other things, how to 'Connect with the Audience', 'Dare to Share' and 'Comfort the Disturbed' in a very limited time:) We are all hoping to get more training from him:)
