*El Arte del Clown *The Art of the Clown*

The art of clowning has existed for thousands of years. A dwarf clown and acting as a jester at the court of Pharaoh Dadkeri-Assi during the Fifth Egyptian Dynasty around the year 2500 BC (BC). Court jesters have performed in China since 1818 BC Throughout history most cultures have had clowns.
The clowns who acted as court jesters had great freedom of speech and criticism. Often they were the only ones who could speak out against social norms or government, and even his mood could come to affect and change government policy.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the spectacles of clowns in England was basically a form of art. Shakespeare was the playwright for the theater company "Lord Chandler's Men." Of the 26 major players in the "Lord Chandler's Men" two, William Kemp and Richard Armin, were clowns.
Philip Astley created what is considered the first circus in England in 1768. It was also the creator of the first performance of a circus clown called Billy Buttons, or the Tailor's Ride To Brentford.Joseph Grimaldi (1778 - 1837) was exclusively a theatrical clown. It is considered the Father of Modern Clown because he was the artist I raise Clown White face the starring role replacing Arlequin. Grimaldi grew up in the theater, and excelled in the design and elaboration of tricks and special effects also in action with chase scenes and comic violence with extreme but temporary results. He was also known for his songs, including one called "Hot Codlins." Besides appearing as white-faced clown, also performed in representing the "noble savage" Friday in a comic production of Robinson Crusoe.
ORIGIN OF THE CHARACTER OF THE CLOWN AUGUSTO (the red-nosed clown)
There is a widespread legend that has happened by word of mouth about the origins of the Auguste clown. According to legend, an American acrobat named Tom Belling was performing with a circus in Germany in 1869. Locked in his dressing room as punishment for not leaving on time on stage, he entertained his friends by dressing in clothes inappropriate to interpret their impression of the manager of the show. The manager was often in the dressing room. Belling one day ran away to escape it, finishing in the sand on the track where tripped over the ledge that separates the track from the public, falling to the ground. Among his confusion and haste to escape he returned to run into the shelf to want to leave the track. The audience shouted "Auguste!" which in German means crazy (or drunk). Belling asked the manager to continue appearing as Augusto thereafter. Most serious historians doubt the veracity of this legend, for one reason, the word Auguste did not exist in the German language until after the character became popular. One of the current theories of origin is that Belling copied the character R'izhii (Red Haired) clowns he saw when he toured Russia with a circus. Characters like Augustus certainly existed before. Accepted or not he was the first, and because they did not have much success as Augustus soon left the clown becoming a magician.
The first clowns aperient Augustus had a natural as if they had entered from the street to the circus. The overdone makeup associated with Augusto clow today was introduced by Albert Fratellini, the Brothers Fratellini
