This new year, PRO Talks are back!

PRO Talks are live virtual events led by industry influencers and experts, focussed on career-building topics. PRO members will gain new insights, meet fellow professionals, and keep their career connections strong. 

It is my pleasure to host this live series starting in January 2022. In keeping with our mandate to provide a means to connect talents and talent seekers, our 2022 virtual conversations will feature talent seekers from different sectors within circus and the performing arts. Don’t miss your opportunity to meet and engage with talent seekers online.

My first guest in January is Pascal Jacob, Artistic Director of Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain. We’ll chat about how festivals can help artists build their careers and dig into Pascal’s talent selection process for Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain. 

My second guest in 2022 will shed light on the ever-evolving field of action and extreme sports and stunts, and specifically how these disciplines translate to the stage. Full disclosure: action sports consultant Jean-Damien Climonet and I have not only worked together, we live together! We look forward to sharing our conversation with all of you. Note that this PRO Talk will take place in French with English subtitles.

For the remainder of the year, I’ll meet with producers, programmers, and casting specialists responsible for finding talent– both shows and individuals– for their season, for cruise ship and theme park contracts, for special events, and for companies large and small.
