The team now draws performers, directors, educators, technicians, and choreographers from all over the United States. Shannon caught up with Doug and a few cast members right before they went on tour.

    Show notes

    Tara Gallimore is a board certified and accredited Nutritionist to practicing in Montreal. She currently teaches nutrition to students at The National Circus School, so I figured she would be the PERFECT person to ask questions like: what supplements should circus artists take? Can athletes be vegetarians? What do I eat if I have to be 30 feet in the air and have a rope wrapped around my waist? Tune in to find out the answers and so much more! AND contact Tara via Instagram: @plantaenutrition

    Episode #54: How Circus Can Change the Brain with Lacy Alana Oct 21, 2019
    Show notes

    My guest today is Lacy Alana. Lacy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist who blends expressive arts with therapeutic tenets to help those who have endured trauma or are neuro divergent. Those are a lot of big words, I know, and saddle up because this interview contains many more. But Lacy does an excellent job in this interview of explaining the big words and showing the connection between the brain and the rest of the body, and how teaching circus can be healing. She gives tips that any circus instructor can use, even those who teach the general population. For more in depth information about the topics we cover in this interview, I highly suggest you go check out her blog at yesandbrain.com

    Episode #53: The Circus Goes on as Long as You Do with Matthew Richardson Oct 15, 2019
    Show notes

    My guest this week is Matthew Richardson. Matthew saw a Cirque du Soleil show at 18 and became obsessed. After he graduated college, he found a place to begin aerial classes. His training took him first to the San Francisco circus center, and then to Montreal, to train Cyr wheel. He was accepted to the international festival Cirque de Demain and from there his career took off in the most inspiring way, but you have to listen in to find out how! He is now dedicated to creating LGBTQ+ based performance art to address social issues and hopefully inspire a kinder world.

    Episode #52: Academic Studies in Circus with Alisan Funk Oct 07, 2019
    Show notes

    Alisan Funk is a Montreal circus coach and creator currently pursuing a PhD in education at McGill University. She received her initial practical training at the Ecole de Cirque de Quebec and taught and performed for many years before going into higher education. She holds an MA in circus education from Concordia University and works as a research assistant on multiple projects which examine the technical and creative aspects of circus, theatre and physical literacy.Basically Alisan is super smart, and she uses all her smarts to think and write about circus in super smart ways. We went all over the place in this interview from how circus is different from other artforms such as theater or dance, the dangers and benefits of institutionalizing circus education, and why circus isn’t studied more in academia.

    Episode #51: Exploring the Circus Industry with Tanya Burka Sep 30, 2019
    Show notes

    Tanya went from being a too tall gymnast to performing one of the most iconic silks numbers in one of the most iconic Cirque du Soliel shows, Quidam. She is now working as part of the creative team for the circus company Short Round Production. This episode is filled with amazing insights, from how to break down difficult skills, to working with people who may not have the quote unquote standard body type for circus, to the impact social media has on the standards of professionalism and ownership over choreography, to how to get work in the circus industry, Tanya shared so much wisdom and insight in this interview.
