(^) Do the horses
ever spook?
Once. A kid in
the front row
flung his stuffed
animal at us,
and Caleb,
my partner, flew
right into
the audience.
He was fine. He
picked up the
stuffed animal,
which was
a horse, by the
way, and gave it
back to the kid.
(^) Do the
performers
hang out? Yes.
We all live on
set. The Russian
aerial acrobats
and I cook for
each other—
I bring them
stracciatella
soup, they bring
me Uzbek pork
belly. It’s a real
“wine, women,
and song”
kind of thing
around here.
