Bailey Circus as a clown.
"I love the circus,” Nasch said. “It
offers everything — music, comedy,
color, mime, excitement, the whole pot-
pourri of entertainment — even the
smells. All your senses are fulfilled."
Nasch began downing with the
Spherical Miracle Circus Works, which
performs for local street fairs. When
the circus came to town, Nasch would
be there, hanging around the big-time
clowns.
He applied for the Ringling Brothers’
clown college several months ago. Of
4,000 applicants, he was one of 60 ac-
cepted and one of 24 to be hired for
next year’s tour.
As a "baby down," he’ll make $155 a
week, less $10 for room in a tiny cubi-
cle on a train carrying the circus
across the country.
While downing may look easy, Nasch
said school was "intense" and some-
times scary. Climbing wobbly ladders,
dancing on stilts, taking a fall and
rolling out so as to avoid injury — and
come up smiling — all take practice,
he said.
Clown college included classes in Tai
Chi, a martial art which "centers your
energy and gets you ready for the
day," said Nasch, as well as instruc-
tion in juggling, tumbling, unicyding,
riding elephants, making false noses,
magic, mime, balloon sculpture and
