Cosplay Clowns
In 2015 a friend of mine, Callista Morlock, introduced me to "Cosplay"; a hobby that developed my skills in costume design, costume construction, prop-making, makeup application, and acting.
Cosplay Clowns was created a year later to compete in a cosplay masquerade--costuming competition. Since then, we have added 3 more members and won awards 3 times.
May 2015 - From Left to Right: Callista Morlock and I cosplaying costumes from Cirque Du Soleil: "Kooza".
Our first Masquerade was in 2016. We cosplayed the band: Steam Powered Giraffe. To prepare for our performance, all three of us learned pantomime--especially how to pantomime a robot--and built foam, prop guitars.
We won Best in Show, at the Phoenix Comic Con Masquerade, with this skit. ↓

In 2018, we competed for a second time. We stuck with "dance" choreography, like before, but made it a goal to tell a story. We competed with costumes from Breath of the Wild--a Legend of Zelda game. Therefore, our story was that of Link's: "The Hero's Story".
We, again, won Best in Show at the Phoenix Comic Fest Masquerade.
This was our performance. ↓

Future Goals:
We are planning the biggest production for this year's convention in Phoenix. It is a redesign of the Batman villains in the aesthetic of Cabaret. This year, we will have a stylized set, original costume designs, and a comedic storyline!
In addition, we are developing a Batman drag show that will be an hour long! It is extremely exciting to have so much time to perform as the iconic characters of the Batman Universe.
