Sayings by Marc Jondall
Marc Jondall and Judy Finelli, from Juggler’s World, 1987.
My upstairs neighbor, Marc Jondall, former performer with the Pickle Family Circus, gave me these comments as we quipped about clown and zen. We were in the midst of cleaning off construction dust on big sheets of plastic as the artist’s collective we live in, Developing Environments, is undergoing building code upgrades.
Here’s what he says:
What’s the sound of one clown laughing?
To the clown, the present is to be present.
The clown that can be named, is not a true clown.

About Moshe Cohen a.k.a. Mr. YooWho
Moshe’s has a strong interest in “Sacred Mischief”, the role clown plays in community as a catalyst for levity. In this context, the word ’sacred’ is not a reference to high and holy, it refers to being ‘Just’ human.
Moshe Cohen (California) performs internationally. the New York Times says “His Indian name would be Dances With Penguins.” His performance itinerary is quite diverse, including last year the Anjos Do Picadeiro festival in Rio de Janeiro, the 40th anniversary of the Zen Center in Los Angeles, and, with Clowns Without Borders, IDP (internally displaced persons ) camps in and around Khartoum in Sudan.
In parallel with his performing, Moshe teaches workshops about ‘humoring one’s human’ in circus, clown and theater schools worldwide, as well Universities, Elementary Schools and Zen and spiritual retreat centers. He actively bolsters the work of Clowns Without Borders, both as founder/director of the US branch and as international ambassador.
