Bryan Burnstein - Balancing Performance & Entertainment

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Performance Science at Cirque du Soleil, Bryan Burnstein. I am stepping firmly outside my comfort zone again and into the world of performing arts. After speaking to Matt Springham in episode 222 who is the technical lead at the Royal Ballet, I wanted to dive more into this world and see what lessons can be learnt and translated to other sports. As you will hear from Bryan, the workload on these performers is incredible and the challenges faced as a performance coach is such an environment is absolutely fascinating. I hope you enjoy this episode with Bryan Burnstein.
