Urgent Concerns– Panel Talk: Circus Schools Respond to COVID-19
During this discussion with our panelists, we ask important questions about the impact on the physical, mental and economic health of circus school students and educators as well as the long term plans and prospects of circus education. We do not have all of the answers, but by facilitating an open discussion, we hope to help the circus world to unite and act during a difficult time. The guest panelists are from diverse backgrounds, and regions in circus education:
- Tim Roberts, Director of École de Cirque de Québec located in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
- Shana Kennedy, Director of Circadium and Philadelphia School of Circus Arts
- Donald Lehn, Director of Escuela de Circo Carampa in Madrid, Spain
