I’ve asked some of my contortion friends to answer these questions relating to contortion and their experiences.

• How long have done contortion for?
• How did you start contortion?
• How often do you train and for how long?
• What is your favourite contortion move/trick?
• What has been your best contortion experience?
• What is your ultimate contortion goal/dream?

The first response was from my friend Nuraiym Moldomamytova from Kyrgyzstan.

How long have done contortion for?

I have been doing this for 11 years.

How did you start contortion?

Seeing my abilities, my dad began to train me, and then I continued in the circus.

How often do you train and for how long?

I train in my free time, almost always and everywhere.

What is your favourite contortion move/trick?

A favorite trick is a crocodile, a trick on one hand.

What has been your best contortion experience?

I’ve performed in Oman and Turkey.

What is your ultimate contortion goal/dream?

My goal and dream is to improve in my work, make new interesting numbers, and as long as possible to act as my number. The best bend is a triple fold, it is very heavy.
