Welcome to Circus and Changing Realities 2020. In this episode titled Somatic Solutions in Times of Stress, we have gathered professionals in physiotherapy and performing arts medicine to discuss the role of physical therapy and therapeutic care in circus. Topics will cover physiotherapy techniques and goals specifically for the circus artist, trends in training and injury patterns, and even explore how working with circus performers has changed during the quarantine period. Our moderators, frequent CircusTalk contributors James Wellington and Daniel Nogueira will even dig into some advice for the circus artist during this time of closed venues and training spaces.

This is a multi-part panel about how trauma affects circus artists during this time of turmoil we are facing. The first panel solely focuses on COVID-19 related challenges that circus artists face with advice from this panel of physiotherapists. In the next panel, the moderators and panelists will explore how physical therapy can support POC in the circus community especially during this time of heightened trauma. . Moderators …..
