Today we’d like to introduce you to Ali And Gia Weibel And Bolton
Hi Ali and Gia, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Our journey began as performers ourselves. From a young age, we both explored various artistic avenues – dance, acting, singing, even color guard and improv – always seeking ways to shine and bring joy to others. We met while performing at another entertainment company, where we quickly discovered a shared passion and a strong working synergy.
Over the years, our roles evolved. We transitioned from performers to mentors, guiding and training others in our craft. We also gained valuable experience in client relations, show production, and team management.
However, we yearned for greater autonomy and a deeper sense of purpose. We envisioned a company that not only provided exceptional entertainment but also fostered a supportive and inclusive community for circus artists.
And so, we founded The Queen City Stunt Circus. Our mission is to revive and celebrate the vibrant tradition of circus arts while ensuring performers are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. We strive to create a thriving environment where artists can hone their skills and audiences can experience the magic of circus.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
With over 25 years of combined experience in specifically circus entertainment, a primary challenge has been defining our unique artistic vision within such a rich and diverse field. We’ve spent countless hours refining our skills, striving for excellence not only in performance but also in the ability to effectively communicate the magic of circus to audiences.
Like any business, we constantly navigate the delicate balance between artistic expression, financial sustainability, and operational efficiency. This includes managing costs effectively while ensuring fair compensation for our artists and investing in high-quality equipment.
Furthermore, we face the challenge of introducing circus to a contemporary audience. While circus holds a unique place in history, it’s often perceived as a niche art form. We are passionate about revitalizing this vibrant art form and making it accessible and engaging for audiences of all ages.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
