“If you believe that the show you’re
making will improve the world, there’s nothing saying that your goals and
self-interests and someone else’s goals and interests have to be mutually
exclusive. They can align.”
Eric Bates, The Contemporary Circus Handbook: A Guide to Creating, Funding, Producing, Organizing, and Touring Shows for the 21st Century

“There's only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain, and the ones that observe.”
Britney Spears
