VIDEO REQUIREMENTS
Be yourself! Let us see your personality. Begin with an introduction – tell us your name, where you live, and what circus skills you’re presenting.
PLEASE INCLUDE
- Mobility – shoulder overhead range of motion, center splits and splits on both sides, side bend, backbend, pike.
- Strength – hold plank for 10 seconds with the best form you can; hold hollow body for 10 seconds with the best form you can; pull-ups (as many as you can with good form; if you can’t do a pull-up, show us a hollow hang from a bar for 10 seconds with shoulders engaged); leg lifts or knee lifts hanging from a bar (toes to bar or toes as high as you can lift them).
- Focus Discipline – Show us your circus skills! Include 1.5 to 3 minutes of a continuous sequence in your primary discipline. This does not need to be a polished act – a series of skills is just fine! You may use footage from a group performance as long as we can clearly tell who you are; you may also record yourself in your training space.
- Secondary Disciplines – You may include up to 2 minutes of additional circus skills, dance, tumbling, or other movement.
Total video length should not exceed 7.5 minutes.
