In this episode I ask Jay Gilligan to tell me about how he makes his ideas concrete to his students at the circus school in Stockholm.
-How this relates to performance abstract and concrete or narrative
-Circus appears frivolous when seen in most cases, academic thought in universities might make contributions to unpacking how its not, but this academization of circus as a subject might impinge on the students who, arguably, most of all are there because they need a foundation of technical skill.
-Clarity of artistic expression.
-Making choices
-What should I do first?
-Doubt and indecision
-Do something then ask: do I like that? if answer is yes, more on. If answer is no ask yourself: Why don't I like it.
