Circus Drawing

I went to a great workshop; time circus drawing at Circomedia with the Bristol Drawing School. I came back with loads of drawings, here are a couple:

Most of them don't make much sense out of context but I am planning to develop several into sketches/paintings.

I've got two strands of ideas at the moment, the first is a developed version of the sequential movement drawings I did. The second is based on a couple of character portrait sketches that seemed to have more depth to them, quite poignant somehow.

I think it will be difficult to develop these further whilst retaining feeling of the sketches. There is always so much of the moment in quick drawings. I am sure that this is precisely what makes sketches both so appealing and so hard to develop. Can you resurrect that feeling? Should you? Is that somehow less authentic? Why? What does that mean?
