Shana Carroll - Stunning Solo Trapeze
One of the most skilled aerial performers in the world, Shana Carroll is so much more than just another circus act. This lady takes ballet into the air and performs with such heart that it is impossible to take one's eyes off her. While touring Europe with Cirque du Soleil in the show Saltimbanco she performed her routine at The Royal Albert Hall and brought the audience to their feet. The amazing thing was how she performed not to the audience but in her own private universe, and brought a sheer joy to an impeccably executed routine. It was that, more than a mind numbing display of aerial ability, that the crowd reacted to night after night.
This piece is from a show she performs in Montreal with her group Les 7 Doigts de la Main. She's an exceptional performer.
