Holly - AKA Pixie and Zola
Holly's childhood dream was to become "The World's Greatest
Female Clown". She set her course through years of serious
study in ballet, costume design and construction, make-up, mime,
theater, juggling, and theatrical magic. By her mid-teens she was
winning international clown competitions and awards in presentation,
costume, and make-up.
Holly stepped into the Big Top and performed with many circuses
such as Gil Gray's Dr. Pepper Circus, Cardinal International, and
P&G Circus among others. She earned her B.S. in Flop Sweat at
the School of Hard Knocks and realized, along the way, that her
talents and abilities stretched beyond the circus world.
Holly returned to Dallas from her circus travels and appeared in
commercials, performed in industrial trade shows and even did a
featured spot on the popular TV series "Dallas". From
1989-1991, as Poppy the Clown, she hosted the extremely successful
daily children's program, "Club 27" on KDFI-TV Dallas,
Texas.
Holly is proud to have been a Young Audiences Artist for ten years.
She produced the touring illusion show, "The Little Side Show
Circus", "The Magic Reading Circus", and a theatrical
séance called "Apparitions". Holly went on to co-produce
"The Muses", an entertainment company which designed interactive
party and special event décor. She is currently active with
"New Directions Intuitive Entertainment", an entertainment
company based on the arts and crafts of fortune-telling developed
from the brilliant minds of Holly and three other talented women. The culmination of all
of Holly's accomplishments arises in her current work with Katrina
and "New Directions" as they continue to create surprising,
elegant and charming productions for special events, parties and
trade shows.
