Clown Karen Bell

Clown Karen Bell traveled the world for 8 years with Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus performing and perfecting her craft. Currently with Circus Sarasota, she is available for corporate events, birthday parties, school and library shows. She is also available for "clown arts" enrichment programs.

Karen is a delightful performer and has the following stage shows available for booking:

"Clowncerto!" - is a unique look at music through the eyes of a Clown and Her Dog. Discover new instruments and old ones. This performance teaches music, creativity and play and involves Karen's trained dog, Grock.

Wonderful for ages preschool - 5th grade.

"Backstage at the Big Top" - Welcome to the magical world of the Circus! Follow the Ringmaster and Clown as they give your students a special tour backstage at the Big Top. Karen applies her grease paint on stage, demonstrates skills and performs several styles of clown gags. Karen walks the tight wire as a metaphor to making your dreams happen. This performance discusses the training and practice involved behind the laughter.

Ages K - 5th assembly performance. (Also available for a smaller venue, contact us for information).

"Zo Zoo Me" - A performance with a circus clown and her steamer trunk. Join Karen as she picnics at the zoo. Watch out, though, it seems some of the animals have escaped! This whimsical romp includes the audience helping to capture the benevolent zoo animals, as well as putting back together a broken park statue...in new and unusual ways.

Ages preschool - 5th grades.

"One Trunk Circus" - From out of her trunk, the Clown discovers an absurd amount of lunch in a small lunch box. She flips sandwiches on a teeterboard (did your mother tell you not to play with your food?). Magic with a silly clown twist and foolish skills to amaze all. Grock, featured performer sings a silly clown-dog song.

Ages 3 years - 5th grade.
