My name is Maxime-Lee. I am one month away from being a Daddy. My first child, a girl, surely named Naïa. First one in the family and we are all very excited.
I am a clown. A professional clown, really. I work full time as a clown and love it, truly. How much better can it get, I get paid to play all day. I'm sure it's not for everybody but after having had multiple jobs, like being an athlete, construction worker, coach, salesman, mover, motivator, team builder, ect... I found the right job for me.
I guess I should call myself an actor. I do do multiple jobs. I just finished a contract at Opera, where I had a silent role. Yeah, that's right, a silent role at the opera. I do many things, from dance to classical theatre yet my full time job is clown and proud of it.
Now, not a clown with make-up and a wig handing out baloon animals mind you, but a physical actor trying to bring back the clown's reputation by doing good emotional and physical comedy. We've (as in our culture) destoyed the clown's image lately and understandably so. There are so many bad clowns out there and there's nothing worse than a happy face painted on the face of a person with sadness or madness in their eyes.
Well, here is an example of the stuff I do, it's my website that I've just created and there are plenty of videos on it. www.maximelarose.com
I will post some old stories I have of experiences as a clown and will add new ones as they happen. I work in hospitals, in the street, on "humanitarian missions" (which is quoted because I don't like the term), in burlesque shows and many other places and will post stories about my experiences.
I hope you enjoy them, who-ever "you" are.
Sing, laugh and dance about,
maxime
