Big shoes and a big red nose are characteristics of a classic clown.
But the art of clowning isn’t what it used to be. Students of all ages are now pursuing a form of comedy that left the circus behind.
Class was in session on a recent Saturday afternoon at the Shake and Shine Festival on Mission Bay. Among the health and wellness booths, there was a group of young children running around using their imaginations and energy to be clowns.
Ella the Clown was the teacher, proudly wearing her colorful makeup and big red nose.
