ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
JANOAH BAILIN (janoah…anygoodjokes?) creates and performs energetic, stimulating and educational shows for family audiences with his unique blend of circus, puppetry, story, and dance. He grew up juggling, toured with Circus Smirkus in his teens, and has trained contemporary dance at College of the Atlantic and through the Lion’s Jaw, Bates Dance and Fresh Festivals. For more information, visit http://www.janoahanygoodjokes.com.
MICHAEL TRAUTMAN had been variously identified as a visual comic, performance artist, new vaudevillian, mime (gasp), physical comedian, storyteller, magician, and fool, he claims only to be a clown…and not a very traditional clown at that. He has appeared at the New York International Festival of Clown Theater, Festival D’Ete in Quebec, the General Jackson Showboat at Opryland USA, Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
