Terry Crane is an acrobat, dancer, and default circus director. After years of having a solo career as a vertical rope artist, Terry wanted to start making his own work. This eventually led him to Seattle, where he currently serves as artistic director of his company Acrobatic Conundrum. He was kind enough to allow Shannon to come on the podcast and interview him about his approach to creation.

This podcast is dedicated to CIRCUS. Aerialist, Shannon McKenna interviews guests from acrobats in Cirque du Soleil to circus therapists and everyone in between. Learn the backstage lives of those who flip, twist, sparkle, and shine under the big top.
Shannon McKenna is an internationally recognized circus
performer and coach. For the past decade, she has been a freelance
artist: giving workshops and classes across 7 countries and worked
on both traditional and contemporary circus shows in the US,
Portugal, Germany, and Australia including the Shrine Circus and
SOAP. She holds a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a
concentration on post-modern physical theater (how's that for a
mouthful?). She founded The Artist Athlete in 2018 as a means to
produce educational materials about circus arts including a line of
e-books to help aerial artists train safely and a podcast in which
she interviews experts in the industry about their careers. If
you're reading this, you're probably listening to it. Thank
you!
She currently lives in whichever circus community is the
warmest.
