Bruised and Soar

In our first installment of act creation, Seattle circus artist (and all-around good time) Amy Funbuttons joined us in the studio . Amy is professional multi-disciplinary circus artist based in the PNW.

Buckle up...this is a two part-er with a second guest next week.

Jessica and Rachael interview each other.

We sat down with Lauren Kehl, one of our favorite anatomy nerds to chat about her approach to coaching movement.

Jessica and Rachael dig into what it means to be ready to perform. They discuss all the parts and pieces that need to be consider when creating an act as well as managing all the anxiety that comes with being a noob performer.

We chatted with aerial coach and professional performer, Amanda Thornton. She shared pieces of her aerial journey and discussed what it means to be authentic, finding your artistic voice, and the power of persistence (and flexibility) for navigating an artistic path.

In this episode we chat about the gremlins that whisper self-doubt in your ears. We discuss how we manage that internal dialogue and how we keep trying to get out of our own way

We sit down with New Moon Movement Arts studio owner Jen Ryan to discuss finding the right aerial studio and coach (as well as a bunch of other topics).

Welcome to our podcast! In our inaugural episode we nerd out about how much we love circus arts and training on aerial silks.
