About this listen

Today's guest comes from a very different world! Joakim Mortensen was a Danish gymnast who is now an artist at the world famous Cirque Du Soleil -the show which combines acrobratics dance and music.

Joakim is one of those who fly through the air doing twists and tumbles and he talks about how he got their and the sort of bravery it takes to perform new skills.

Josie met him when she got an opportunity to visit their training centre and this chat lifts the lid on the acrobatic entertainment world. He talks through the parental support he got as a child and about his motivation to perform potentially dangerous routines every day. It's a very revealing chat!
