There are a wide range of career paths for the aspiring professional circus/performing artist, and in this workshop, we will explore some possible steps toward those dreams, as well as practical, effective approaches to applications and auditions. Applying and Auditioning for professional training programs (from short-term intensive workshops to 3 year professional training programs and university B.F.A. degrees) in circus and related performing arts, as well as for professional performance opportunities, can be a successful adventure of personal & professional growth, learning, and network-building. And it can be done with less stress than you may think! Come discuss tips for maximizing your opportunities while taking care of yourself/your student/child. Practice your "asks and intros" with the director of the small youth circus troupe, a professional circus performer and union actor herself, who has mentored her own daughter along with many other students - and their parents - through their early applications & auditions for circus & related professional performance & training programs, with many success stories (Ecole Cirque du Quebec, Circus Smirkus Tour, Pippin National Tour, founding/performing with CirqueUs, etc). Open to Youth through age 22 with interest in professional performing training programs and/or performing professionally AND/OR parent(s)/guardian(s).
