PRO Talk: Shana Carroll on Creativity, Casting, and The 7 Fingers

Our April PRO Talk guest Shana Carroll, director, choreographer, and co-founding artistic director of The 7 Fingers, recounts her journey from drama student to Pickle Family Circus artist and the moment she “knew” what path she wanted her life to take. Tune in to learn about the fragile balance between creating circus art and running a company, why being a good human as well as a good artist matters in our industry, and how multidisciplinary artists are the hallmark of the 7 Fingers’ work.
