10: Is there anything else on your mind about circus or this field you would like the reader of this to know?

There is a place for everyone in circus.

The Imperial OPA is a leader in the Circus field, we are the Circus of Atlanta, and as such its our duty to help lift up others.

Further, we believe that knowledge is power. Knowledge can help inspire, help lift up, and better direct those in the field with us currently and those who are coming up. Knowledge is gained in time, training and living and it costs but time to pass along.

Beyond this, guests and friends want to know more about who these artists are, what inspires circus people to perform, what was the inspiration for them to start living this life.  So many questions.

To address all these points and many more, we present the Artist Insights program. This program is aimed at interviewing people and spreading knowledge and supporting those around us on their search for knowledge. We hope you enjoy reading the blog posts form time to time from various artists.

Want to be interviewed as well?

We are always looking for Artists, Producers, Circus owners and others who want to pass along their knowledge to help others learn.

If you are interested, send us an email (* Circus(at)theimperialopa(dot)com ) and let us know a bit about you.

We will follow up with questions for you.
