I think working for Cirque Du Soleil would be an incredible experience no matter what it is you were doing. The work that they do is so legendary, you could really learn a lot by being on the Production and Operations team. It would probably also be a great learning experience to intern with Cirque Du Soleil, just to see how they manage their shows.
I completely agree with Brooke. I think the style and presentation of their work is incredibly unique and precise. It would be an amazing experience to learn from the designers and technicians that put these performances on, not only because Cirque De Soleil is world renowned, but because of their style.
I feel that working with Cirque du Soleil would be a very valuable experience. It would be a great way to learn about a high stakes style of theatre. I feel that one would also benefit from coming into an environment feeling very overwhelmed and learning how to cope with everything until they feel comfortable.
Working for Cirque would be amazing. I want to know how hard it is to get in though. I know our resumes get "flagged." But I know some one who applied for 3 years before she got a phone call. Either way, I am going to apply at least for an internship at the min. Good luck to all of us who do. It would be amazing to see how they do it.
I think Cirque is very invested in raising and training upcoming workforce. It definitely is a wise choice, since Cirque is just so big and everywhere with their national and international productions running at the same time. And they know that there are hundreds of people out there who would pay to work at Cirque. It's a good way for both ends to find each other.
i am wondering how cirque will be effected by this "broadway plague" and the declining economy. cirque has always been said to have an indispensable budget, and i am wondering if this will continue and if they will continue to hire like they have been.
While I believe Cirque is an incredible company to work for given their vast amount of resources and reach within the industry, the only concern I have is with the nature of cirque productions. In that what I have heard about Cirque as a company, they tend to have their own way of doing EVERYTHING. So that not only are you working towards a creative goal but one that fits within the bounds of the Cirque 'ideal'. I don't necessarily think it is the type of thing where your creativity would be stifled, merely that it is a far different environment than what we may be used to.
Cirque is a great example of theatre which continues to draw large audiences despite the current "plague". The people involved in the creation of these fantastical shows seem to have the right idea when it comes to making their shows irresistible to audiences. It would be great o work for Cirque Du Soleil and get a chance to see it's inner workings.
One of my first theatrical viewing experiences was a Cirque Du Soleil show. I remember being in such awe over what I was seeing (or just being too young to process it). I believe that getting to work to create this magic for other younger people is a perfect way to give back. It is also an amazing way to learn about precise and finished visual products, which are also fully functional.
Cirque is the height of theatre technology and management. The shear scale alone is enough to draw in people. This would be such an educational experience even if it does not lead to a lifelong career. The amount of work required per show would really provide the skills that could then be applied to anything smaller. you'd be hard pressed to find a production bigger than Cirque.
I'm so mad I missed their Red Curtain event when i was living LA due to a load-in. My friends that did get to go said that they are staffed not just by HR types but by off duty technicians that like the company enough to come out on their day off to do these things.
It would be an interesting experience working for cirque. I think It would greatly depend on which show and where one was working to though. I feel like the productions and work style could greatly vary from new york to las vegas. I am also interested to see how cirque handles the current recession. Are they going to have to scale back the size of their productions to stay afloat? If they a were to do this I would imagine they would lose some of their flare. The repute of cirque would definitely be affected.
