    "A lot of artists can prepare themselves, but sometimes they don’t.” - Aruna Bataa

    Today, I have the pleasure to introduce a performer who was born into a family of circus artists. She was born in Mongolia, and soon moved to Brazil together with her parents. Travelling up and down the country with a traditional circus, she started training and eventually performing alongside with her family. When she graduated from high school, her parents settled down to allow her to go to university and become a lawyer. Halfway through her studies Cirque de Soleil knocked on her door and offered her a job. What should she do? Accept this offer or finish her degree that she had already put so much work into? Well, there is only one way to find out. Listen to this new episode and welcome the handstand artist and contortionist Aruna Bataa!

    “If you don’t like what you’re doing, then injury will happen.” - Toshiko Oiwa

    From the busy streets of Tokio where she started her Ballet training, she moved to New York City to attend the Juilliard School. She went on to work for Twyla Tharp, Billy T Jones and French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj and always found time to pursue her own projects as well.

I do apologise for the weak sound quality in the first couple of minutes But these are live talks and it would have been weird to start over. Let’s give a warm welcome to our guest Toshiko Oiwa!

    “Dancing gave me a good foundation for my job as a pilot.” - Andrés Ferraz-Leite

    Our guest today was trained as a classical ballet dancer up to the age of 19. Born in Uruguay he moved to Vienna, Austria with his parents as a young child. Encouraged by his father, he took up classical dance training at the Vienna State Opera ballet school. Fully immersed into the prospect of becoming a professional stage artist, it slowly dawned on him that he would rather become a commercial airline pilot. And that’s what he did. So how did he manage that shift and has the dance education been helpful for his training as a pilot? Find out in my new episode of the Me in Ten Years Podcast and please welcome Andrés Ferraz-Leite!
