Clown is a natural phenomenon.
Clowns appear in all fields of human activity.
I also include Clowns who are infrequently recognised as ‘clowns’ so I give them one of my highest compliments by calling them also “Non-Clown Clown”(s). Several of the other 50+ blogs on this site are about other Non-Clown Clowns. The 50+ blogs comprise enough material to be considered another book. My first book Clown Secret was self-published in 2018 and can be ordered via any local independent bookstore via their print-on-demand contact. It can also be ordered via any large online bookseller. Plus you can get it in 2 minutes via kindle. Same is all true for the 2nd book Quantum Theatre: Slapstick to Shakespeare self-published in 2020. For those looking for Professional Development, in addition to my books and blog, there is I.S.A.A.C. Creative Mentorship – for individuals or groups online with live videoing, part-time over a one-year period. See www.iraseid.com for Creative Mentorship preliminary information.

The great clown troupe HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS which featured Meadowlark Lemon. They traveled as a double team that is the HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS would play a match against their ‘other’ team and the Referees were also part of the whole troupe and show.
