'Getting into the Cirque de Soleil'
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/getting-into-cirque-du-soleil/
Performers are strong athletes who have left sports behind them.
Audition process - lots of competition, have to prove you can dance or act and pass medical tests.
Incredible talent
Shows tend to be 10 a week for 10 weeks which can cause heavy fatigue to the performers, the gymnasts also have to learn to dance to be part of the show to help with coordinations skills and so they can prove they could perform in the shows. There are also professional dancers in the Cirque de Soleil, who have difficult auditions too, they have to interpret dance routines quickly and prove their talent and if they get through they get into a bank of possible performers for upcoming shows and 'new creations.'
A mandatory part of the training regime is voice club training
The Clown
Clowns have to be able to affect the audience by mostly just movement alone and without words.
