Hi Dan,
I was curious as to Cirque Du Soleil deals with performers and pregnancy? I am a singer, so specifically, how do they deal with female singers that get pregnant? Is there a pregnancy-leave period for women just like in normal jobs? Thanks!

Does CDS ever employ acupuncturists? Would performers be interested?

I had dry needling which is similar without the faff and meridian bullshit. Sham acupuncture is just as effective as acupuncture. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19250001

How much money did you get paid per week? And is there a difference in salary when performing in a resident show vs a touring show?

Asked by Pablo over 10 years ago

I wont comment on my wages. I don't know the differences on resident vs touring but your paid generally per show so the numbers there will be different.

Hi Dan,

Cirque is my absolute dream, and I know for a fact that performing is all I want/need in life. I was wondering if you could tell me what are the major things that can help prepare me and set me on the right track for cirque? Thank you!

Go to a circus school. Take classic and contemporary dance. Understand your body and learn pilates/functional training/PNF stretching. Understand you might need to move to where the work is. There will be tough times and injuries. you will get old. It's still a great way to see the world and can be hell fun. Go for it.
