    Abstract : This is a reflection and exploration of creation as a contemporary circus artist today, from the point of view of the same (I am a rope walker).

And how can we use knowledge from other fields such as marketing- and social psychology or service side jobs, to look at our creation from another angle? These questions are explored through looking into marketing- and social psychology, the words of other creators, doing interviews and looking at the way I interact with the practice myself.
