Circus act (Nelma Pietala)
Composer, arranger

Music for a circus act performed by Nelma Pietala. The piece is a commissioned work for her then newest foot juggling act.

Nelma started her circus career at the age of six at Sirkus Sirius in Mäntsälä, Finland. The circus was her heart, so she decided to apply for a circus program. Her studies started in the fall 2015 at SaSak (Salpaus Circus Artist Education), where she specialized in foot juggling.

Ever since she was a small girl, Nelma has climed to the top of the pyramid and fly when others throws her in the air. In additon to these skills, she also performs good on balance board, unicycle, pair acrobatics and ladder balancing, together with her sister Anni.

Nelma travels a lot in her job, and has among other performed at Kristiansand Zoo, and at Viking Lines M/S Amorella as part of the Circus Triorella-group.
