AMANDA RITCHIE Artist, Zumanity Dream... wish... train... become! I have dreamed and wished of being a performer in Cirque du Soleil for as long as I can remember. I will never forget the feeling of performing my act on a Cirque stage in front of a panel of casting directors and video cameras. Even though I was auditioning it was as if my dreams had finally come true. A few days later I was informed that my lifelong dream had become a reality. I had been accepted into the Zumanity family and couldn't ask or want anything more.
