“Spending the holidays with the cast is fun and exciting in its own way. “This is my fourth time doing a holiday tour so I’m not unused to being on the road for the holidays,” she said. Even so, she has enjoyed celebrating the season with her tight-knit touring family. “Sometimes we find them and sometimes they find us.”īible acknowledged the mixed feelings that arise with having to spend the holidays on the road away from family. “The producers are amazing at finding new talent and giving voices to people who might not usually do these shows,” added Rye Mullis, the production’s creative director, in a release. To cast acts from here brings a distinctive look and feel to the show.” Due to travel restrictions, this year we hired all domestic talent which has been special. “In the past, they had the ability to hire talent from all around the world. “The talent in ‘Cirque Dreams Holidaze’ is one-of-a-kind and novel,” he said. Wilson also reflected on the unique talent pool from across the country required to produce the experience. While staying true to the ‘Cirque Dreams’ magical experience, I wanted to make sure to bring new visuals and create characters the whole family can identify with.” “Audiences can expect a family-friendly extravaganza,” echoed choreographer Kevin Wilson, in a release. The circus performers have been working for so many years on their acts and it’s incredible to see just how much work goes into what they do. Everyone has their specialty, but everyone does many different things. Everyone’s skills are being brought together but they’re all so different from each other. “I’m still amazed at what the circus performers can do. but we provide many circus acts as well,” Bible added. Since then, she has been featured in commercials, television shows and has performed in musicals such as “Annie Get Your Gun” and the national tour of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” A few years in, I realized I needed to expand my horizons as a performer, and I began to get into the circus arts, primarily the aerial silks.The San Francisco native began her performance career at Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.

Then I got a few professional dancing jobs, got an agent and began auditioning for TV shows and commercials and musical theater. I was doing hip-hop and modern dance but it was for the love – it was mostly unpaid. I moved to LA (from San Francisco) to go to college, and after I graduated, I went back to dancing because it was my first love. Eventually I aged out of the opportunity, but I was in love with dancing by that point, so I just kept going. So from the time I was 11 until the age of 18 I was the Nutcracker. I was actually cast as the Nutcracker instead, because at my dance studio the role called for an athletic performer. I started dancing ballet when I was six, but when I was old enough to play the role (typically around age 12) I wasn’t cast because I tended to play the parts that usually went to boys because I was athletic and could tumble and leap. I started as a dancer, and the reason I started dancing was because I wanted to play the role of Clara in the Nutcracker. HANA: I’ve been a performer since I was very young, and the story is actually pretty ironic.

The Broadway-style musical, inspired by the ‘Nutcracker’ ballet, is infused with over 20 contemporary circus artists and features over 300 costumes as ballerinas, snowmen, penguins, reindeer, ethereal aerialists, gingerbread people, carolers and colossal ornaments fly, balance, and juggle around a Christmas-themed storyline.
