Next week we are shooting our interview with Penelope at the drill hall. Listed below are a few questions we will ask her:

  • How long have you been the artistic director?
  • What does the circus mean to you?
  • What do you think it means to the women that come here?
  • How do you think the circus has changed from when you first started till now?
  • What is you vision for the future of the circus?

We will also be attending a class to photograph some of the performers. We will have a written piece on each woman we photograph so we will also ask them questions, such as:

  • Name and where you are from.
  • How long have you been involved in the circus?
  • Why did you join the circus?
  • What do you feel you get out of the circus?
  • How has your life changed since joining the circus?
  • What is the process of how you become a performer from your everyday self?
