Jasmine's tightwire adventure

Donation protected
Hello!

My name is Jasmine Manuel and I'm a Seattle based circus artist and tighwire specialist. I work at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA) as a coach, performer and administrative assistant. 

In my 11 years at SANCA I have had access to a plethora of experienced coaches and learning opportunities in various apparati. Even so, the community around wire walking in the Northwest has been limited for my own goals in learning more about this art. 

This coming October-December of 2016, I have been given an exciting learning opportunity to study tightwire intensitvely in Madrid, Spain. 

Your support will fund my path to becoming a multifaceted wire practitioner, artist, and coach. 

My financial goal is calculated off of estimated values for 3 months of; tuition, lodging, food, and plane ticket. My campaign will be running for these 3 weeks before my travel date. 

There has been an unfulfilled place in my training that has not gone away for years since I started concentrating on tightwire. It is a desire to be coached and molded in a way that I have yet, only experienced in smaller, private sessions. I am extremely thankful to have worked with; Veera Kaijanen, Ariele Ebacher, and Jacob Bloom. Even these countable hours of coaching have made me realize how well I could do with more rigor. 

I am also excited for this time to learn about teaching styles, gain experience with another communities' approach to tightwire, and how I can incorporate this my own coaching. It will mean a lot to me to bring this abroad experience to my students here in the states. 

Thank you very much, for reading this far, and taking the time to consider my campaign. However near or far this campaign goal reaches, thank you so much for supporting circus arts. Thank you for supporting tightwire and nomitating me to be the torch bearer for such an endeavor. 

peace,

-JM
