Welcome to my life as a circus volunteer in Bratislava! Here's a glimpse into my daily routine.
I wake up around 8 or 9 am, brush my teeth, wash my face, and prepare my breakfast.
Office time starts at 11 am. I walk through the buildings and pass a coffee shop and a few boutiques, then I arrive at our office.
At the office, I brainstorm TikTok ideas and social media content. Our workspace is equipped with tables, a small kitchen, and a chilling area.
We're preparing a picnic and mini-show for the kids before our official performance on Friday. It's the last class of the year for many of them, except for summer camps and other events.
I ensure the kids are safe while on stilt walking duty. Suzanne plays games with them, such as getting the diablo without her noticing.
Our upcoming performance at the Sports Club Slavia Agrofert includes various acts like a hoop performance, rola bola, dragon duo, silks, fire double staff, and trapeze.
After the kids leave, we pack up our equipment and load our red Felicia. I return home in the evening, ending a fulfilling day.
Life as a circus volunteer in Bratislava is creative, collaborative, and full of joy. Each day is filled with trying out and learning new things.
Feel free to watch a video I prepared.
