Ep83 - Johnathan Lee Iverson: Finding Your Peculiar Genius (Act II)
There’s a lot of responsibility that comes with being a circus ringmaster. In many ways it’s a dance between your performers and the audience. A trust. And for decades, Johnathan Lee Iverson has taken that trust very seriously. A peculiar genius of his own that he doesn’t take lightly. So, when he moved from Ringling Bros into the Omnium Circus, a "Bold New Circus" where inclusivity, diversity, multi-sensory is always center ring, his devotion took things to the next level.
On the second part of the series “Finding Your Peculiar Genius”, Johnathan share more about the traumas and triumphs of circus life. Especially within the disabled or rather the multi-able community. Something close to my own heart and you'll find out why. Plus, you’ll meet a number of performers through the stories Johnathan shares and what it means to dream big and have a platform to express yourself authentically.
Plus, a chance of a lifetime opportunity to join Johnathan and the cast at the Omnium Circus on May 14th at the Queens Theatre in NYC. All you have to do is purchase just one ticket, then post it on your Instagram and tag @hilaryrusso, @thelastringmaster and @omniumcircus. You’ll be entered for a chance to join us center ring to meet join the circus after the show.
