This is a really unique experience that was created for people from all over the world to access, which I think is lovely! The circus is something that I’ve never gotten to see live, and I think a lot of people don’t get to see a circus in their lives. Having a way that people can access this extravagance from the comforts of their homes is moving in the right direction. I am really impressed that Cirque Du Soleil is still so popular/still exists, as the circus industry predominantly died. It’s because they know their audience and the audience they’re trying to expand to. Especially with the current economic crisis, live events are going to lose a lot of their audience due to raising prices of everything. This was a really smart move for them and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for the future.
What a very innovative and unique idea to bringing in customers and revenue to the show even in down seasons. Strangely though, I learned in production planning that actually, theaters should not be relying on ticket sales for their income. Maybe that is different when you are Cirque, but I wonder how and whythat would vary. I think the whole idea of Cirque is fantastic because its not theater but also not NOT theater--its an entirely self-contained live show. I wonder what working for Cirque would be like. Would a lot of your workflow be remote? That is something I have been wondering as of late.. could a lighting designer work remotely using previs and programming software directly on their computer? I guess if you are a designer, then in theory you could, but not if you are a technician, because then of course you need to be in the room. I bet that wouldn't fly if you are early in your career though because it would help to be in the room to establish yourself and build connections, and then once people know you and trust you, you can go and work remotely-ish. I am not a person that likes to work from home, I don't even like doing homework in my dorm because it feels like my 'rest place' and I can't focus there. However, the main appeal to me of working remotely would be that I could live anywhere. Or I could live a little out of the city in the country somewhere and still do what I love, rather than having to live in a city.
This is super cool! I am honestly a really big fan of Cirque du Soleil, I think the work they produce is truly mind-blowing and amazing (both technically and artistically), and what they have done to the entertainment industry is just so, so fascinating. Especially because they were literally bankrupt for a bit. And yet, basically everybody knows the name and vaguely what they do, and they’re just such a staple of the Las Vegas entertainment world, and that’s really neat. However, because a Cirque performance is such an extravagant nightmare, obviously, they can’t tour stuff like Ka, and a trip to Vegas isn’t exactly an easy thing to just do one weekend. Having a digital museum of Cirque du Soleil stuff is a really awesome way to make more people able to see some of the stuff they do. Additionally, I think having the backstage stuff available to view is really awesome to give audiences a look into the operation behind a Cirque performance.
