Monkey See, Monkey Discuss--Episode 1

Circus Voices presents a short series of podcasts titled  'Monkey See, Monkey Discuss’ created by Ruby Burgess and Rosie Kelly. Rosie has been part of the organising team for both the British and the European Juggling Convention as well as organising her own convention (CATCH!) in 2018. Ruby recently graduated from Circomedia in Bristol with a BA in Contemporary Circus and Physical Theatre. 

In episode 1, with much of the circus world forced to stop and rethink, we explore the many ways that the art form is reinventing itself in light of COVOD-19. We discuss the wide reaching effect on our industry, from performers stuck in tents to the response of Cirque Du Soleil. This episode looks at the impact on the mental health of the circus community and how organisations such as circus schools are adapting. With many shows and classes going online, what does circus in your living room look like?
