How long does it take to become a professional circus artists?
We believe that the answer is different for each individual. But, it generally takes 5-10 years of serious training before reaching a professional level. Our program does not have a set time restriction. At KT you can start at a beginner level and work your way to the pre-professional troupe. Some of our pre-professional students come to us with years of skill training experience and only spend 8 months focusing on theatrical work while developing a strong solo act. Others start in our program as children, work hard to join the youth troupe, then move to the pre-professional troupe as teens and spend their high school years developing their repertoire before moving on to an international school or professional company. We help each performer create a custom curriculum plan that will help them achieve their goals. If you are interested in becoming a professional, we can help you no matter where you are in the process.
How can I rig a silk in my house/yard to practice on?
We do not recommend home training on aerial equipment, ever. You should always practice in a professional setting, under the supervision of a professional coach, on equipment that has been rigged and inspected by a professional rigger.
