speaks on:

Plus-Size Inclusion in Circus Performance and Instruction

In aerial arts we love to say that "circus is for everybody," but that is rarely reflected in performances and classrooms. This talk will focus on the need and benefits of plus-size circus inclusion in the classroom as well as onstage!
