the AU review went backstage during rehearsals for Cirque du Soleil's "Totem" in Sydney, Australia to spend time with the cast and creatives in the spectacular show.
First up, we meet Native American hoop dancer Shandien Larance who talks us through a day in the life of a Totem Performer, lets us in on her background and we learn what advice she has for those looking to one day become Cirque performers of their own. Plus see footage of Shandien training for opening night!
Totem is in performances in Sydney until January 4th, 2015.
