We have a very special guest on the Barefoot Science podcast today by the name of Yuri Marmerstein, who has performed extensively as an acrobat, is very much involved in teaching the physical arts, and he has veered into stunt work with film and TV. Surprisingly, Yuri wasn’t very active as a child and the skills that he now has were mainly all developed in his adulthood, and for the most part he is self taught. Listen in today to hear the various interesting ideas and concepts Yuri shares with our hosts!

“One of the main differences between stunts and the circus is in the circus you’re trying to look good, pretty, and controlled, but for stunts you’re trying to look as out of control as possible while still being in control. So that’s a pretty interesting performance characteristic.” 2:50
