Shana Carroll: Director and Designer from PASSAGERS, 7 Fingers and CRYSTAL, Cirque du Soleil

Shana Carroll is a Founding Director at the 7 Fingers from Montreal, Quebec. She was a trapeze artist before becoming an acrobatic designer and choreographer at Cirque du Soleil.

After interviewing a number of acrobats from Cirque, my listeners requested to learn more about people behind the scenes. Therefore I started researching directors, creators, storytellers from various shows. Shana jumped out at me, not only because she's been an integral part of many major Cirque shows, but also her daring nature in taking on new projects that have never been done before.

She was an Artistic Director for Paramour in New York City. Paramour was the first-ever Cirque du Soleil and Broadway collaboration. There were plenty of very positive but also negative reviews about the show. I absolutely loved it and watched it four times with families and friends. Not to mention that my two friends, Andrew and Kevin Atherton, were headliners in Paramour.

In 2018, Shana was asked to create the first-ever, on-ice experience for Cirque called CRYSTAL.

Then in 2019, Shana created and directed a new show called PASSAGER from 7 Fingers, premiering in Boston, MA on September 25th, 2019 Learn more: https://tinyurl.com/yytevecx
