Panel Discussions
Held twice weekly on ZOOM in 2020 and 2021, these discussions included our Featured Creators, and many others from the extraordinarily rich world of circus, both classic and contemporary. Guests include Gypsy Snider of The 7 Fingers, Tuan Le of Cirque Du Vietnam, Mat Ricardo of London Varieties, and Lisa Fa’alafi of Hot Brown Honey. The panels were discussions about how we make circus, from both a creative and business point of view, covering topics as diverse as “The Director’s Creative Process”, “The Digital Centre Ring: Circus Online, how to do it; Should we do it?; What are the issues?”, and “Intercultural Collaboration and Circus”. The panels were frequently booked out, and generated much to think about and continue discussing.
The panel discussions can also be viewed live on our Facebook page.
