An award-winning global director of cirque, cinema and stage. As a comic act designer he specializes in clowns, characters and story components. Stefan is the author of The Power of HA!Connecting Through the Heart of Humor. He studied theatre in college only to realize that his true passion lay in the cross-over to the circus arts, so he set his sights on Cirque du Soleil. As a result of his intuitive gift for mining actors' true potential, various sit-coms hired him to coach actors, including The Roseanne Show. After self-producing a number of critically acclaimed plays in Hollywood and New York City (Call of the Wild, Midsummer Nite's Text, Your Town Follies, Moon Over Madness, Atomic Holiday Lift-Off) he traveled to Europe to juggle on the streets and study with the premiere master-teacher, Philippe Gaulier. This move resulted in a collaboration with Bill Irwin and David Shiner on the Tony- winning show Fool Moon. Haves was then poached by Cirque du Soleil, collaborating on clown and character performances within six touring and resident productions (Kooza, Iris, Amaluna, Banana Shpeel, Zaya, and Drawn to Life). Prior to that, he wrote and directed the world-class Teatro Zinzanni—a dinner/ cabaret featuring such luminaries as Joan Baez. Today, Stefan Haves is a trusted international thought-leader who was tapped to present a TedX Talk in New Delhi, India, and was invited to conduct personal appearances for blue-chip companies like PepsiCo, Infosys, Mindtree, and Barclays Bank. He gleefully shares his innovative message on the role of humor, creativity, and effective expression gleaned from the stage and applied to the corporate workplace. In 2021 Haves was granted the opportunity to co-direct Katy Perry's Playland-branded New Year's dinner/cirque event at Hilton's Resort World in Las Vegas. Earlier in his career, Haves cut his teeth as an actor and a visual-comedian who appeared on stages and television shows worldwide—even garnering $10,000 on America's Funniest People by performing his signature piece "Back-Man". Stefan's 2016 original conception of the spectacle Festigal, in which Haves was tasked to showcase famous pop celebrities from television's Romania's Got Talent, used a Cirque du Soleil aesthetic in a stadium setting. His cinematic offerings include the award-winning short film Punch Drunk, featuring Academy Award nominee Sally Kellerman (M*A*S*H) and full-length feature Stalled starring Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth).

Music as a reputable career choice, boy bands, prophetic guitar tattoos, visiting 34 countries, and the role of those with power in the industry are part of Hilary's conversation with guitarist Angie Swan.

This Cirque du Soleil rockstar commands the stage as a cellist, keyboard player, singer, and character actor. Amanda speaks about her versatile career as she jumped from the resident show, IRIS to the big top format with AMALUNA and currently with KURIOS… all the while performing through a diagnosis of cancer, chemo therapy and full recovery. I suppose this then makes her, a rockstar of life!

https://Art2Life.com - I love how the art-making journey can begin in the most unexpected, inconspicuous ways. Everyone's origin story is different, but we all share the spark. That moment on what was most likely on an ordinary day, while doing seemingly unimportant things, where IT happened. A chance meeting with someone. The first paragraph of a book you happened to glance at, left behind at your table by someone you didn't know. Or perhaps it was a piece of art you saw that changed everything. It increased the volume of the call to your art just loud enough that you couldn't somehow begin.  For Daniel Wurtzel, the Brooklyn-based air installation and performance artist, it was simply a leaf amazingly suspended above a subway air grate. It was hovering, as if by magic, 12 inches above the ground. Something about this moment stirred him. He couldn't let it go. He had to follow its path. Daniel Wurtzel began. Today, Daniel's ethereal air sculptures have been seen in Cirque du Soleil in Amaluna, the Sochi Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony, and countless museums and science centers across the globe. His kinetic sculptures and installations combine the lightweight and poetic materials of paper, silk, and glitter with the most wondrous but invisible material of all: Air.  ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Getting to know Daniel Wurtzel and his gravity-defying art [2:35] The truth in materials and why ideas are so important to the creative process [7:22] How Daniel freed his art and found his way in the art world [12:28] Gifts from the natural world and the power of noticing  [20:43] The role music and performance play in Daniel's art [25:11]  The moment Daniel knew he found his art [28:32] Diving into Daniel's creative process [33:20] Looking down the road ahead [37:21] Going outside of yourself and the most important choice an artist can make [39:38] ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Richard Serra (Artist): https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/artist/richard-serra  Isamu Noguchi (Artist): https://www.noguchi.org  ================================= CONNECT WITH DANIEL WURTZEL Website: https://www.danielwurtzel.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielwurtzel  Chaos: Making a New Science (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Making-Science-James-Gleick/dp/0143113453  ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/art2lifeworld  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8dJWKgPKkW4W3fsb1vLeg

Matthieu Larivée compte vingt-cinq années de carrière, au cours desquelles il s'est bâti une réputation enviable grâce à ses nombreuses créations visuelles dans divers secteurs tels que la musique, la télévision et le théâtre en plus d'évènements spéciaux et corporatifs. En 2005, Matthieu fonde Lüz Studio, une entreprise de conception visuelle proposant des services intégrés d'éclairage, de scénographie et de contenu vidéo. En plus d'agir comme chef d'orchestre de tous les projets, il en est aussi la force créatrice. Fidèle à son passé d'éclairagiste, la lumière est le fil conducteur de toutes ses productions. Matthieu utilise la luminosité pour imaginer des espaces uniques, un peu à la manière d'un architecte. Sa connaissance du terrain et sa polyvalence font de lui un créateur capable de travailler autant sur des projets à échelle humaine dans les théâtres que dans les vastes espaces des arénas et des stades comme ceux dans lesquels ce sont déroulés les lancements de véhicules pour la compagnie BRP. Ses conceptions se sont retrouvées sur différentes scènes contribuant au succès de tournées d'artistes de renom provenant de différents horizons comme Veronic DiCaire, Panic! At the Disco, Broken Bells, Jason Aldean, Billy Idol et Jack White (Boarding House Reach Tour pour lequel il fut en nomination aux Knights Of Illumination – Las Vegas). De plus, Matthieu a illuminé les pyramides d'Égypte pour le concert A Night At The Pyramids où la chanteuse Chantal Chamandy était accompagnée par l'Orchestre Symphonique du Caire. Ce spectacle pour lequel il s'est mérité un MELDA (Design Award Dubaï) et qui lui a aussi valu une nomination au PARNELLI (Las Vegas) fut diffusé sur PBS. À titre de directeur artistique et directeur photo, il signe la facture visuelle de productions télévisuelles comme Y'a du monde à messe (prix du meilleur décor – Gémeaux) et d'évènements d'envergure comme le 150e anniversaire du Canada auquel participait U2. Matthieu et son équipe savent innover. Ils ont intégré la réalité augmentée à la panoplie de leurs services. Ils se démarquent en réinventant la formule des Gémeaux ainsi qu'en faisant apparaître virtuellement sur scène des artistes comme Alanis Morissette et Avril Lavigne dans le cadre du spectacle de la Fête du Canada en 2020 diffusé sur CBC et Radio-Canada. La touche artistique de Matthieu se retrouve dans plus d'une vingtaine de productions au théâtre dont l'adaptation de Nutcracker à Las Vegas pour le Nevada Ballet. Il est également le concepteur d'éclairage de deux spectacles du Cirque du Soleil soit Amaluna qui a fait le tour du globe et Wintuk présenté au Madison Square Garden de New York.

Guys, I’ve been dying to show you this one. I think I don’t need to explain who Yulya Mihailova is, as she is probably the most famous female handbalancer and contortionist in the circus world and the world of social media. After meeting her husband, Andrii Bondarenko, I was determined to get to meet her too and share our conversation with all of you. She is a shining star and has been on stage with the Cirque du Soleil show Amaluna for over 8 years. At the time we met (in June 2019) she had just left the show and was generous enough to spend some time with us and share some of her story and why she decided to leave. In this interview she tells us about how she got started in handbalance and how her mother was against her going down this kind of carreer path at first. She also tells us about her relationship with her husband Andrii, her two daughters and how difficult it is to have the family in one place, given the nature of their jobs. When I met her I was struck by her amazing charm and kindness. Yulya is such a sweet person, a strong woman and has so much to give. She has so many interesting stories to tell, she could easily write a book about her life as a performer, coach, mother and wife. I hope she finds the time someday to execute on that! I was lucky, because I got to meet with her during an interesting time for her, where she was at the beginning of a new stage in her life, moving on to new projects. She and Andrii are not only stars on the stage, but are starting to teach more and more across the globe (#couplegoals). I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! I’m sure you already follow Yulya on Instagram, but if you don’t, go do it right now! IG: @djilieta P.S.: Consider supporting us so we can keep producing content!

Cirque du Soleil, the renowned Quebec-based circus, has returned to San Francisco with its production of "Amaluna," a women-centered narrative about renewal and rebirth. A collaboration with theater director Diane Paulus and loosely based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest," "Amaluna" features a majority of women in its cast and an all-women band. We'll talk to two of the cast members — including alumna of San Francisco's Clown Conservatory, Kelsey Custard — about the show's current Bay Area residency and about dazzling audiences across the globe.

Friday Morning Breeze: Amaluna, BART survivor, Brighter Side, Thanksgiving turkey dinners!

Cirque Du Soleil performer Kelsey Custard talks about the Amaluna show that is at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks until August 25th!  Plus, Dining Out For Dogs is Monday August 19th at all White Dog Cafe locations.  The founder of Alpha Bravo Canine, Jen Green gives us all the details about helping the non-profit that provides emotional support dogs to veterans!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cirque du Soleil's traveling show "Amaluna" opened in Montgomery County this week and will be in town for about a month. KYW Newsradio's Hadas Kuznits got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep this operation well fed. She spoke with kitchen manager Abdel Soriano about what and how much these high performance artists eat, got a tour of the kitchen and learned about the well-oiled process of setting up and breaking down the circus commissary.

First on the show is Jennifer Ulibarri, a Territory Outreach Manager for Promises Behavioral Health. Jennifer is dedicated to helping individuals start on their road to recovery from mental health disorders and substance use. Then we meet the star of Cirque du Soleil Amaluna, Alix Croop.  Alix is from Allentown, PA. For a short period, she worked in the field of Neuropsychology and as a mobile therapist before running away with Cirque du Soleil! Amaluna runs from July 24 to August 25 Under the Big Top, Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. If you want to see Alix in Amaluna, get your tickets here.

Además, en ‘Al cierre’, el detrimento a la salud de alrededor de 1.000 millones de pesos por recobros. Este miércoles es noticia que diferentes personalidades del Partido Demócrata en Estados Unidos habrían sido destinatarios de supuestos correos bomba que contendrían en un caso un dispositivo plástico sospechoso y en otro, polvo blanco. Sandra Ramírez, subeditora de la sección Internacional, analiza los alcances de estos ataques y las posibles razones en medio del caldeado ambiente de polarización que vive ese país. Son 10 las IPS que habrían hecho recobros irregulares por alrededor de 1.000 millones de pesos entre los años 2006 a 2008, según la Contraloría. La cifra, sin embargo, es muy inferior a los primeros indicios que manejaban las autoridades con respecto a esta ventana polémica en torno al manejo de los dineros de la salud en Colombia. Así lo explica Milena Sarralde, de la sección Justicia. En lo más leído este miércoles en Eltiempo.com se encuentra una galería de fotos con los datos de los salarios mensuales de los presidentes de América Latina. Encuentre en este espacio detalles como cuánto ganan los mandatarios Iván Duque, Evo Morales y Nicolás Maduro, entre otros. El Circo del Sol protagoniza hoy la sección ‘Lo que viene’, con el estreno del espectáculo ‘Amaluna’. Yhonatan Loaiza hace un recuento de lo que se podrá ver en este show que tendrá funciones durante dos meses.

Además, en ‘Al cierre’ qué ha pasado con el caso de discriminación de un anciano en Medellín. La histórica decisión del presidente Donald Trump de retirarse del pacto nuclear con Irán que venía del 2015 complejiza la situación que se vive en Oriente Medio y cambia las reglas de la diplomacia estadounidense frente a esta región. ¿Cuál es el impacto de la decisión de Trump frente a los aliados? ¿Qué dice Israel? ¿Cuáles son los riesgos? Explica Sandra Ramírez, subeditora de Internacional de EL TIEMPO.Además, en ‘Al Cierre’, Luis Miño, editor de Nación de EL TIEMPO, explica por qué se ha generado tanto revuelo en redes sociales la discriminación de don José López en un restaurante de El Poblado, en suroriente de Medellín. Mauricio Galindo, editor de Econónmicas de EL TIEMPO, explica el repunte de venta de vivienda nueva en Colombia en un 11 por ciento, dato que entregó este martes Camacol.

Randy Weiner is a playwright, producer and theater and nightclub owner. Weiner is the creator of Queen of the Night at the Paramount Hotel in New York City, and recently served as the dramaturg for Cirque du Soleil's Amaluna. He, along with a few other theater school graduates, established a small theater troupe in New York City called Project 400 Theatre Group, which specializes in creating avant-garde musical productions which married classic theater and modern music. In collaboration with Diane Paulus, his wife, he co-created The Donkey Show, a disco adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream which ran off-Broadway from 1999 to 2005. In February 2007, Weiner co-founded (with partners Richard Kimmel and Simon Hammerstein) the Box theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In January 2014, Weiner and partner Aby Rosen unveiled the Diamond Horseshoe supper club in midtown Manhattan.    Randy Weiner could have done anything with his life. And he would have been a massive success at whatever he chose. Biochemist, lawyer, Hollywood screenwriter, Jewish hip-hop star . . . it all could have happened. We sat down to talk about how he carved this unique niche for himself and . . . How a Biochemistry Degree from Harvard helped prepare him for the theater. How his marketing budget for Sleep No More was ZERO. And why he thinks a Broadway show can do the same thing. What about Broadway terrifies him. Why his projects attract “The Cool Kids”. . . from celebrities to private equity firms. His strategy for raising money for projects that people can’t see beforehand.

An update on Melanie Sinclair (front) the NCAA star, who's kicking ass as an Amazon in Cirque du Soliel's Amaluna.   First! We present our scientific review of Amaluna. Then our guest, is the vivacious and effervescent, Melanie Sinclair. Before becoming an acrobat in Cirque du Soliel's goddess powered Amaluna, she was a US National Team member during the Nastia, Sacramone, Memmel years.   Always a fan favorite for her sideline antics (see gif and videos below) and emotional filled routines, she finally gained the attention she deserved at University of Florida. She was a leader on the team, putting Florida on the map. She was fun to watch no matter what she was doing - competing or dancing with herself during warmups. She exemplifies all of the reasons gymnastics fans adore NCAA gymnastics. We discuss: The old school uneven bars act she performs in Amaluna Growing up at Orlando Metro under the tutelage of Jeff Wood and Christi Barineau The true friendship of her teammate, Amanda Castillo. How she became so consistent in college when it was so illusive in elite. The power of fun and being oneself in gymnastics. How she recovered when she gymnastics career was cut short and what advice she'd give to gymnasts in similar situations. How Cirque helps her treat her body like a temple and stay healthy even after a lifetime of gymnastics. The rhythms and cycles of a predominantly female cast. Above - Her career wasn't complete without Amanda Castillo. Everything about Cirque's AMALUNA. This show features college gymnastics' uneven-bar favorites: Amara (Amy) Defilippo (Arkansas), Melissa Fernandez (Illinois), Summar Hubbard (LSU), Linday Bruck-Ayotte (Michigan), Brittany Urbain (Iowa) and Laura-Ann Chong (Oregon).
