1994 was it really that long ago? I still feel like I’m learning my craft and who I am.
Everyday I perform I’m reminded of just how much I appreciate doing something I love and being with the audiences I get the privilege to perform to.
Today seemed like most days setting off to perform for the school holiday programs. Then I realised it was this day 31 year ago I did my first paid gig.
22 years of being Kikkii The Klown, followed by the last 9 years discovering myself as Tam.
That’s thousands of birthday parties I’ve celebrated with families in their homes and venues and I estimate that’s close to or over 1 million people who’ve witnessed my performances and shared in the making of the magic.
I’m not the celebrity who sells out the MCG venues, I’m the person who feels so honoured to be invited to people homes and communities, to share in the laughs and fun and capture the magic that’s created.
My work has been a space where I can use my extroverted energy and creativity without limits, to be constantly reminded of how precious each moment can be and to stay curious.
It’s more than how I’ve made a living - it’s living out my dream!
To the many inspirational people who’ve contributed to me, to all who’ve allowed me to contribute to them and for all the challenges and opportunities- I am so profoundly grateful, thank you.
Here’s to always expanding and growing as we dance through life!
31 years since a 17 year old me had a wild idea to be a performing artist and with a lack of formal talent but with a strong will created a small business and became a clown!
