Christmas at the Circus

I'll like to know how choose your career

More corgi, more circyssy stuff please please please!

I’m hoping beyond hope that I can connect with you when you are in East Lansing, which I think is tomorrow and the next two days. I will bring fabric if you actually are here where I can bring it. —- I am always curious how you stay trained when you’re not on a contract. I figured your attic would be your rehearsal space.

My all time favorite video was Canelle? wearing different costumes, Halloween I think. My favorite costume was Sherlock Holmes...my spelling is atrocious today!

I'm curious about your performance routines- ie- do you do the same performance for different shows? Learn new routines for new shows? Daily training to stay fit is also of interest. How you find different companies/tours to work for- do you look for anything specific or have specific requirements on your end when deciding to work for a company?

ooo ooo oooo, you are close to Annaberg, (day trip)there is an awesome miniatures museum there. AND a wonderful tribute to a woman from the 16th century that was known for her Lace making. This area of "Germany" (was passed around for centuries to who ever was invading at the time) is known for the Lace & woodworking talents. Also the mines that I could go on and on about what came out of them over the centuries and what the metals/minerals were used for, even in modern times. We have dear friends in the area that we visit every few years!

I have been wondering whether you need to get special permission to have Cannelle along, or if it's normal for performers to bring their pets. And any other complications that come with traveling overseas with a pet, or with Cannelle in particular! (I'm genuinely curious, but if answering this question happens to involve cute corgi footage, well, I wouldn't complain...)

Your photos today are beautiful! You both look happy and excited to be on the go. And I laughed out when I scrolled down far enough to see Canelle’s dandy shoes! We’ve seen bits and pieces of you two performing and I’d love to see more of that for certain! Like your whole show!

Also, if you have the opportunity, I would recommend you to visit Weimar while being in Erfurt. The german poet Wolfgang von Göthe has lived there and it is supposed to be a very nice town. ☃️❤

Maybe a vlog about your normal day routine on tour? Maybe you could explain about some habits of yours? I have been semiproffessional in sports and I am always interested how other sports/disciplines prioritize or manage. Also I personally love to see/hear stories about how you manage your daily life WHILE on tour, how you manage to cook, to aquire an iron or sewingmachine if need be, how is cannel's life on tour,....(corgi content is always appreciated) Wish you three an amazing tour and a wonderful season☃️🤗❤

I generally like all your videos. Now, in this particular case, while you are in Germany, in Erfurt if I understand correctly, I am very curious to know how you, as a well-traveled Canadian, look at Germany and the Germans. Greetings from Cologne!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Vlogmas posts last year - behind the scenes at the shows, crafting on the go etc. - happy to see more. Interested in the logistics of setting up the show sets, have always been fascinated by the sets and props of live theatre etc. PS have not posted any fabric but have instead exchanged a few messages via elfster with my fellow Australian “ Shannon Makes” followers. 2 of us met at a local cafe, did a fabric swap & chatted for an hour and a half ( would have been longer but staff were trying to close the cafe for the day ! ) Then had a lovely surprise phone call & chat with another in our fabric swap club today. Planning on booking a zoom chat to “ meet” everyone next weekend🦘🍁🪡

I’d be curious to hear how, from both creative and practical perspectives, you integrate your existing acts into themed shows. Do you modify your entrance/exit to flow with different stories? Do you change songs or choreographies for each different show you join? How do you learn group transition pieces - do you get study materials in advance or learn on the spot in a few days in person?

Cannelle is such a cutie pie

I'd like to know about the daily routines in the sense of how the performing (I'm guessing that happens in the evenings) and training influences the whole day and if (and when or how much) it lets you explore the place you're at. In such case it would be great to hear some interesting or curious stories from the places you've visited.

Canolie lookin up for speed. 😉 qute as a button!😍

I have not traveled widely, so seeing how other cities, town, even countries, decorate for and celebrate the holiday is very interesting to me. I also like the suggestion of traditions and stories from other performers and crew is good as well. Having a behind-the-scenes angle is also a good one. I know this isn't helpful but to me everything you film and post is interesting.

I really enjoyed your Christmas series last year while on tour. As someone else said, behind the scenes stuff would be really interesting. My favorite highlight was making the vest last minute (though I am sure that wasn't the most fun in the moment). I'd also love to know more backstory about yours and Phil's act and just your story together, since he's been more on the channel recently. I love the two of you together!

I would like to see behind the scenes, if possible what your days look like , all the other people you interact with costumers, production people everyone that helps put the production together.

I love seeing the footage of the areas you travel, that alone could be a separate channel :-) Happy Holidays to you, Phil and Cannelle

I've only ever seen circuses on TV. Would it be possible to see some shots from the angles they don't show on TV - eg what does it look like from up high?

Does Cannel always travel with you? If not, who does she stay with when you are away?

Are there any cast&crew traditions that have evolved as a result of so many of you being away from your families during Christmas?
