What are the best and worst types of crowds to perform for?

Asked by beast in the machine over 12 years ago

Worst, Chinese. Very unresponsive. Different social backgrounds.

Best, to be honest I love performing at festivals best, when there's some fat dubstep or drum n bass rockin out and I can go wild and the crowds there with me for every drop... Like this:

How many different Cirque du Soleil shows are there? Does Guy Laliberte still have an active role in creating every different show?

Asked by O0O over 12 years ago

I believe there's currently 19 shows running. Nope, Guy doesn't have much to do with the shows anymore. Daniel Lamarre is president and CEO. The one time Guy came to see Zaia there just happened to be a world poker championship on in Macau at the same time :-) Fair enough I reckon. He's earned the right to enjoy his success.

Were you required to maintain a certain body type, or did it not matter as long as you could perform your routine? Like could you put on 20 pounds of fat or would they tell you to lose it so that you looked more fit?

Asked by baci over 12 years ago

Maintaining a stage worthy physique is part of the contract.

Obviosuly some characters or acts can get away with slipping more than others.

If your an aerial flyer you can get bet your partners will come down on you pretty quick if you start putting the pounds on.
