How Can I Turn Circus Into a Job: Cruise Life
As most of you know, I had been doing a series on how to turn your circus training into a career in the future. With the Holidays, there have just been so many other fun things to write about that the series was put on pause. I had been using my own life experiences because I have had so many great opportunities performing, but believe it or not I am not the only performer out there. Crazy, I know! Just kidding! As you can tell by the title, this blog is going to be about working on a cruise. Now I have not worked on a cruise–something about living in a tiny room for months and months on end just doesn’t do it for me–but, someone we know and love has, and that is Coach Tawni. This blog is also not about her. I’m sorry I built it up, only to take it away, but you can be on the lookout for some specific coach blogs very soon!!!
You guys know me, and how I am always scouring the internet for other circus blogs. I just love to know what else is going on outside of our circus community. Well, I came across this article titled “A performer on the world’s largest cruise ship reveals how she got the gig, and what working at sea is really like.” And I thought “how perfect!” I love that I am able to share other people’s experiences because what we all go through auditioning to get a job can often be so similar.
Her name is Ariana Mazzagatti and you can read all about her experience here: A performer on the world’s largest cruise ship reveals how she got the gig, and what working at sea is really like.
And if you’re already tired of reading, you can actually watch a video about it here: What it Takes to be a Cruise-Ship Performer.
Maybe I’ve never said it outright, but I love talking and hearing about what you guys think about these blogs, and I love to answer any performing questions you might have. So please don’t be shy about emailing back or stopping me in the hallway to chat.
Can’t wait for classes to start back up tomorrow!!!
