Apple Podcasts5App is hacked or a conUnited Kingdom6 years ago - Smart reflections with laffs & tunes
As the whole performing arts community pivots, revolves, innovates and re-assesses itself, this is a brilliant collection of reflections from a global collection of Circus practitioners and musicians working in Circus. Amazingly eclectic people, interviewed well, with some of the music that inspires them. Not only great listening *now* for anyone in (or interested in) the performing arts, but also a time-capsule of arts practise at this fascinating time in world history. Love it!
