So much can happen in a moment, and so much can be conveyed, but with circus, the art is usually left to speak for itself, and rapport with the artists about their creation is a rarity often reserved for talkbacks and after-parties.

Circus Talk’s series “Act in a Moment” explores the idea that circus artists have a lot to share about their work and the process of creating circus that can be conveyed with a little explanation and a lot of visuals. Explore the essence of an act or a show, the idea behind a new apparatus or the circumstances that led up to a great moment in circus with us as we speak to circus artists about their favorite topic, their art form!
