Sugar, Kelly and Bobbi aren91裸聊视频檛 clowning around.

The three clown personas are going on an adventure to Holland and Germany, to learn the European art of juggling.

Their creator, Kelowna local Kellie Ingram, brought the clowns to life after enjoying acting.

91裸聊视频淚n clown town, there91裸聊视频檚 different clown types and personalities,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淎 white-faced clown is a lot of work.91裸聊视频�

It took Ingram two years to be able to do Sugar91裸聊视频檚 makeup in an hour.

Sugar may be the most well-known clown in Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 community, as Ingram spent the last 10 years performing as her.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e been teaching myself balloon twisting for 10 years,91裸聊视频� she said.

As Sugar, she specialized in comedy magic and balloon twisting but it was time for a change, she said.

Now, as Bobbi, Ingram plans to make a video of her adventures in Europe as Bobbi is an online character.

Bobbi is a character clown, who falls down, wears light makeup and can practice juggling without being perfect. She dresses Bobbi with grey hair, a 91裸聊视频渕ama91裸聊视频� wig, and in 91裸聊视频�60s 91裸聊视频渙ld lady makeup,91裸聊视频� she said.

Kelly the clown is a goof, able to get wet and receive pies in the face.

Ingram is set on learning the flashy style of European juggling at the Juggling Collective in Limburg and the Mannheim Winter Convention.

The European style of juggling is different than the Western style, as Western focuses on symmetry, she said.

This isn91裸聊视频檛 Ingram91裸聊视频檚 first time attending clown conventions to improve her skills.

In 2015, she visited Dubai which ignited the desire to improve her juggling and cycling.

"I performed in Dubai for 6 weeks.  I was one of 20 clowns from around the world who was invited to perform during their annual Shopping Festival.  Three of us were from Canada and I was the only one from B.C.  It was from performing with the other performers from around the world during this time, that spurred on my past yen of juggling and unicycle."

There91裸聊视频檚 no clown schools in Canada, so Ingram91裸聊视频檚 skills are self-taught and learned through conventions.

Ingram starts her journey in Holland, Feb. 10 before travelling to Germany Feb. 24.

The trip is sponsored by the Canadian Council for the Arts and Gasoline Alley Harley Davidson, Kelowna.

Her interest in human behaviour and acting started Ingram91裸聊视频檚 career as a clown.

91裸聊视频淚 worked as a behaviourist for 25 years,91裸聊视频� she said, teaching college classes before getting involved with acting.

Then she recalled someone asking her if she had an interest in clowning which she stored in her memory for years.

Eventually, her husband asked why she wasn91裸聊视频檛 involved with clowning and she91裸聊视频檚 been working full-time as her clown personas ever since, originally starting in White Rock clowning in the Lower Mainland for five years and then in Kelowna for the past six years.
