This screen circus piece explores living as a circus artist with a menstrual cycle. It aims to be relatable and to raise awareness and get people talking about this important aspect of physiology that applies to almost half of the world’s population. It is hoped that it can encourage more thought into working with hormonal changes in menstruating individuals in order to optimise performance (and indeed just life) as opposed to working within the patriarchal norms that exist in all aspects of our society, which are optimised to serve those without a menstrual cycle.
