Resume of DaMissus

My mother tells me that I have been a clown, all of my life. That’s almost 19 years of laughter. My husband and three children have had the unique opportunity of being my practice audience for more than 20 years. (and Yes, I am still only 19 years old).

Experience

My first paid appearance as a clown was at a ‘Grand Opening’ of a Store in Plano Texas, during August of 1982. There have been more than 1500 appearances since then. In the last year, I have appeared at the following events:

• 83 Birthday Parties located in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC .

• 6 “Grand Openings/Celebrations” of stores in Maryland and Virginia. 
• 17 Company or Church Picnics in Virginia and Maryland.
• 12 Festivals and Parades in Maryland and Virginia

Education

My first clown class was a 12 week long (just 1 two hour class a week) class, at a nearby magic store, starting  in July of 1982. Since then, there have been many more clown classes. It is my goal, each year to attend at least one clown school and one or two workshops. This is being done to expose me to new ideas and techniques on a continuous basis.

In the last year, I have attended the following classes:

• Circus Magic - Four days of clown classes and competitions
• Face and Body Art International Convention  - Five days of face painting classes
