Technical Director for Cirque Du Soleil Zarkana, Dave Churchill, explains the intricacies of preparing the show’s set. “I’m sort of like the conduit between crazy and reality and we try to take the crazy ideas and turn them into reality as much as we can.” Walt Pourier (Oglala Lakota) incorporates his Native American culture into his art, strengthening local community and offering guidance to kids. “My philosophy of the art is more on the cultural side of it, expressive, making an impact.”
