Joel Baker - Other Speciality Act - San Francisco, California Event Location: Touring Italy Event Type: Touring Circus Show "Le Cirque" 28th March 2018

Joel is a talented and versatile artist and a kind person. He always addresses every situation with his contagious smile. These qualities were priceless in the creation of Alis, produced by Le Cirque with World's Top Performers. His longtime experience with world-class productions helped a lot in pre-production brainstorming, finding new artists, ideas, and solutions. He's very dedicated and you can tell by the amount of time he spends at the venue. He assisted me as associate director for the 3rd edition of Alis and It was a great support to know that he would be always there any time I needed him.
