    Congratulations! It was my childhood fantasy to work one day in a circus. I was watching you and admire the workout you need for such a tough job! Nowadays in Europe we don't have have circuses. Especially in Greece where I live.
    PS .How strong you are!!!!
    I always wanted to know what are your last thoughts before stage?

      Aww thank you 😊 your so sweet. Haha I love my workouts and the fact that I get to workout as a part of my job. That’s so sad there aren’t any traditional circuses in Greece ☹️ do you have theatres that put on different types of shows? Hehe yes I’ve been told I’m quite strong gotta be for the aerials I do 😝 umm last thoughts usually are to enjoy getting to be on stage performing 🤩

      Cool that you found this video! It’s funny I often don’t film other people cuz I’m socially anxious and sometimes ppl don’t want to be filmed. But I am happy to chat and answer questions about the environment and people. When you say day routine do you mean like a day when I’m not working?

    So do circus performers operate like on a contract for a few months? Cruise ship workers do.

      @EllenHenry0  2 роки тому +2

      Yeah most performers are offered contracts and they can range from a 1 off gig to a 1 yr contract or longer depending on the company

    I want to be a circus performer but I have a pet cat. Is it possible to have my cat around as a circus performer or would she have to be left with somebody while I'm away?

    • @EllenHenry0
      @EllenHenry0  Рік тому

      it really depends on the circus you join. I know traveling circuses in Aus allow pets. Chat to the circus you are joining. Also depends on how you think your cat will cope with living inside a small space - caravan

    • @EllenHenry0
      @EllenHenry0  2 роки тому +5

      Aw thanks 😊 ahh yes so this show owns a whole bunch of caravans which they put temporary performers in. Yeah accom for traveling performers is either caravans for traditional big top shows or in a hotel for other types of shows 🙂

    • @EllenHenry0
      @EllenHenry0  2 роки тому +5

      So this is a great question. First off the circus that I work at we have NO animals. I have seen quite a few other big top circuses in Australia and most of them don’t have animal acts. I think It’s devastating that some animals were mistreated in the circus personally 😔

      So this show that I’m with in this video, I wasn’t performing with, just working on the bar and doing one of the spotlights for the show. I ended up joining this one because my partner at the time was working there. But my other job at Dummies Corp. who I perform for at the moment I got into by doing their audition.

    Do any of your coworkers have children in the circus?

    We have very young kids whom are also in the arts. Wondering if people continue their careers after kids

      @EllenHenry0  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey Natasha yeah so many artists have kids. At this circus there's a couple kids now (at the time of writing this) and even in contemporary circus shows people have kids. Performers always range in age with some of the most professional high earning artists being older.
