Inka Siefker is an internationally renowned contortionist who holds the Guinness World Record for farthest arrow shot into a target using the feet. Not too shabby for a southern girl who started circus in her twenties!
Shannon sits down with Inka and a bottle of champagne to talk about training with a Mongolian coach, laser pointers, and high ponytails.

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.
