The best advice we ever received for becoming a performer!
 
Aside from - train hard, have passion, and be safe

Watch shows, and watch as many as you can. 

When we were starting out and had hopes and dreams of becoming professional performers, people would ask, where do you want to work? My answer was either Cirque Du Soleil or European Variete/Cabaret shows, until our coach and life mentor told us to go and watch as many shows as we can. 

Now when I think about it, how can someone possibly know what discipline they want to do or which show they want to be in without previously seeing a tonne of shows?

After looking through youtube, instagram, facebook and our coaches' old show DVDs, we took this to the next level and traveled from Australia to Europe and watched 9 shows in 3 weeks. How did this help?

We understood a good act from a bad one. 
We understood the different elements of a show and how it needed to flow.
We learnt that some cities, where a “dream show” is, aren’t necessarily where you’d want to live. 

💡 Your Challenge this week: Watch as many shows as you can. I challenge you to watch an hour per week. Take note of what you like, don’t like, and why. 

P.S. If you don’t know many shows ask your friends, ask instagram or ask us!
