This week, Jack Dawkins is joined by Max, an aerialist with an impressive career who is looking to continually challenge the norms of the circus industry. They speak on femininity versus masculinity, the creative process, finances, and more!ABOUT MAXMax has worked with numerous companies and appeared regularly as an aerialist on a variety of TV shows and films. A few high profile performing credits include Cher’s show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Cher’s Dressed To Kill world tour 2014, Cirque Du Soleil’s MJ One, Cabaret the musical, and Radio City’s Christmas Spectacular. He was an original cast member of Cirque Du Soleil’s LIGHT nightclub in Las Vegas before acting as Artistic Director for the “Exposure” event in 2014. Max then worked on the Cirque Du Soleil creative team for several projects in Montreal during 2014, and he later assumed the position of Artistic Director at LIGHT nightclub. His interest for the visual arts also inspired his career as a photographer. He has taken a different approach to the art, integrating his director’s eye for lighting and composition, as well as his accumulated knowledge of the aerial arts and the human form to create unique collections, which have been well received in various museums and galleries. Most recently, he has co-founded his personal brand, “Verse Concepts Art + Aerial”, as a base for the creation of artistic projects and collaborations within the performing arts community. Max continually creates, directs and choreographs for personal projects and larger productions, always passionate about the quality, experimentation andprogression of his art.https://www.instagram.com/maxintheair/https://www.instagram.com/max_damian_photography/https://www.youtube.com/@MaxintheairABOUT JACK DAWKINSJack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far.  His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use.   Most importantly, he loves you.www.jackdawkinsraps.com/linktreeMusic: https://open.spotify.com/track/5TMLeqJiL2WMPoAcWKhGZz?si=4e6748ab641b46bcSHOW NOTES
