Kolleen&Bobby Kintz

Kolleen and Bobby Kintz stumbled into the world of clown at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theater in California (where Kolleen attended, and Bobby loyally supported the ensemble as resident photographer).
In 2011, the duo returned to Maryland and began volunteering with Clowns Without Borders, helping spread joy and laughter through programming at inner city schools, festivals, and coordination of local fundraising. In 2012, Kolleen traveled with CWB to Indonesia, and this fall the two will make their first voyage together, to perform in Haiti!
The Kintz Family Circus, as they call themselves, works annually teaching camps where little ones can experience the magic of clown, learn skills, and create a show of their very own.
When not training at The Center for Movement Theater with Dody Disanto, these two are working on creating original and wacky pieces of theater, in and out of the red nose.

In an effort to put his degree in Philosophy from Villanova University to the best possible use, he’s been entertaining and educating audiences of all ages since 1988. Shakespeare, Poe, Dickens, Greek Mythology and Kipling provide his material for interactive school programs which make history and literature more accessible and enjoyable, while giving audience members a chance to take a meaningful role in the performance. Oh...and juggling!
