In anticipation of our Hand to Hand festival in partnership with Circadium School of Contemporary Circus, Katy and Raina sit down with Circadium's Executive Director, Shana Kennedy, and first-year student, Sierra Rhoades Nicholls, to discuss the future of contemporary circus. Shana and Sierra walk the hosts through their personal introductions to the circus arts and the intense training required to pursue a professional career.
