While at LDI in October, I took a backstage tour at Cirque: Ka. I was told by several people that one of the best ways to get a job with Cirque is to get an internship. Apparently, about half the interns get hired. Our CB secret agent* at Cirque just sent me a message to pass on to you. Cirque currently has two internships available! There is a "technical theater" and a "stagemanager" position. The only real restriction I see is that you have to be able to get college credit for doing it.
Find the jobs listed here and Good luck! Maybe you can get the internship and become a secret agent too!
*Many major employers in the industry require their employees to not talk about where they work publicly. If our CB member who works for Cirque identified (her)himself that way, we would tend to think that (s)he speaks for the whole company. If (s)he gives advice, is (s)he speaking as an individual or a representative of the company... big companies tend to not like this. We have several CB members with very cool gigs that unfortunately aren't allowed to publicly post about them. Our friend at Cirque has been kind enough to occasionally privately share messages like this with me to forward on to everyone.
