Hi all! I feel like in reading a lot of news stories about a lot of recent earthquakes, many mention people leaving a building as soon as shaking starts. However, my understanding based on the theoretical is that that is not considered best practices (since you are supposed to drop cover and hold on). I live in an 8 story building in California built pre earthquake code on the third floor and am unsure what best practice would be — should I stay or go because I am concerned about collapse?

Hi all!
After a second incredibly transformative summer coaching circus at a fairly high level summer camp (coworkers with enc grads etc) I’m increasingly realizing that I’m yearning to dive head first into fully pursuing circus professionally. I’m 24, a former high level competitive gymnast, and dancer, and am most looking to further pursue pacro (I mostly base but would love to middle more) and hand balancing (I don’t love tumbling on dead mat which limits me there). Ive been admitted to a mostly funded one year masters degree (currently will still cost 12k though) in something completely unrelated at Stanford, and right now and am feeling like that’s not my truth, but am scared to take the leap and drop out. Should I stay and finish this program? Would it carry any weight in the circus world? Or not waste money and dive into circus now? Any prep programs, advice or thoughts would be so welcome.

Hi all!
I’m currently in the process of moving to the Bay Area, specifically Palo Alto, and am looking to continue a frequent partner acro practice. I primarily base and would be looking for both people and spaces to practice, specifically with things like banquine, hand to hand and if possible three highs! I’ll be in grad school so unfortunately would prefer South Bay recs but could travel maybe once a week.
