Description
Once a troubled youth, 30-year-old Jonathan Goh found a new direction in life through circus arts. Today, he's a full-time circus artist, performing on the streets and working to grow Singapore's little-known circus scene. But pursuing an unconventional career comes with its challenges. From busking to organising community festivals, Jonathan is determined to create more opportunities for local circus artists and bring the art form to a wider audience. Can he turn his passion into a thriving circus community in Singapore?
