    Good for you, your best bet it to first get all your stuff together to apply to cirque. They need a CV headshots and a small video I think. That will put you in their database and get you talking with them. Their camp may be invite only and I think it's mostly for developing new shows but I could be wrong. While you wait there is a circus college in SF that can help you add to your skills and teach you some more character acting, movement, strength and flexability.

    Believe it or not the biggest hurdle you may face in a potential audition is strength and flexability. In their auditions your tallent is assumed to be top notch and they first test your strength and flexability. I auditioned for Dragone which uses the same cirque audition style. Let me know if you have any questions or want more details. GOOD LUCK ;)

        You'll probably need to send them the same stuff plus an audio recording. From what I have seen on documentaries the music auditions are more individualized and they challenge your improv skills and styles. Their goal is to push you and see what happens, think boot camp, if you live through it your a stronger person. :)
