The secret is training. In Quebec City, the curriculum is 25-30 hours/week, not counting personal practice. So, how can a school hope to do it for less hours? Obama said that if you give Americans a challenge, they will rise up to it. So, it needs to be presented as a challenge. Get the funders. They're out there just itching to give money to something as sexy as circus. But, circus needs to grow up as an art form. It needs not only great tricks, but great music and great choreography. These artists are out there, I have met some. Don't try to guess. Collaborate. Elaborate. Let's not just pretend to "do circus" without any understanding of what that means. Doing a handstand is not doing an act. Many will be called, but few will be chosen, just like in any art form.
Think outside the box.
