He’ll be able to squeeze out every last ounce of that energy, and it’s the one place where jumping, swinging, swirling and balancing on one foot is encouraged.

  • Cold Chisel to Roll out the Biggest Archival Release in Australian Music History!
    Cold Chisel to Roll Out the Biggest Archival Release in Australian Music History! 56 New and Rare Recordings and 3 Hours of Previously Unreleased Live Video Footage to be Unveiled! Sydney, Australia - Under total media embargo until 4.00pm EST, Monday, 27 June, 2011 --------------------------------------------------------------- 22 July, 2011 will be a memorable day for Cold Chisel fans. After two years of exhaustively excavating the band's archives, 22 July will see both the first- ever digital release of Cold Chisel’s classic catalogue as well as brand new deluxe reissues of all of their CDs. All of the band's music has been remastered so the sound quality is better than ever and state of the art CD packaging has restored the original LP visuals. In addition, the releases will also include previously unseen photos and liner notes. Most importantly, these releases will unleash a motherlode of previously unreleased sound and vision by this classic Australian band. Cold Chisel is without peer in the history of Australian music. It’s therefore only fitting that this reissue program is equally peerless. While many major international artists have revamped their classic works for the 21st century, no Australian artist has ever prepared such a significant roll out of their catalogue as this, with its specialised focus on the digital platform and the traditional CD platform. The digital release includes 56 Cold Chisel recordings that have either never been released or have not been available for more than 15 years. These include: A “Live At

    Cossin, Ross and Gosselin 1 Prepared using sagej.cls Journal Title Making single point aerial XX(X):3–27 ©The Author(s) 2016 circus disciplines safer Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/ToBeAssigned www.sagepub.com/ Marion Cossin1, Annie Ross1 and Fred´ erick´ P. Gosselin1 Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure the dynamic tension force between the apparatus and the hanging equipment of five aerial circus apparatus and to recommend minimal loading requirements in rigging and design. Forces generated by different acrobatic movements were measured and synchronized with video recordings. Sixteen students of the National Circus School of Montreal´ (Canada) participated in the study. Maximal forces were analysed and characterized with respect to the discipline, the type of movement and the schooling level of the student. The maximal force measured was 5.3 kN performed in the discipline of aerial straps, equivalent to 7.9 times the bodyweight of the performer. A minimal breaking strength of 22 kN for the hanging point and all the equipment holding the rig is recommended. A minimal breaking strength of 22 kN for straps, 17 kN for rope, and 12 kN for silk, aerial hoop and dance trapeze is recommended. Keywords Aerial circus discipline, maximal forces, safety, circus rigging, acrobat mass Prepared using sagej.cls [Version: 2015/06/09 v1.01] Cossin, Ross and Gosselin 3 Introduction Aerial acrobats use their own force to lift their body and execute various movements requiring extreme strength and precision similar to gymnastics. Aerial acrobatics encompass all disciplines requiring the rigging of an apparatus at a height.

  • Linguistic Variation of the American Circus
    Abstract http://www.soa.ilstu.edu/anthropology/theses/burns/index.htm Through the "Front Door" to the "Backyard": Linguistic Variation of the American Circus Lisa Burns Illinois State University Anthropology Department Dr. James Stanlaw, Advisor May 1, 2003 Abstract The language of circus can be interpreted through two perspectives: the Traditional American Circus and the New American Circus. There is considerable anthropological importance and research within the study of spectacle and circus. However, there is a limited amount of academic literature pertaining to the linguistics and semiotics of circus. Through participant observation and interviewing, of both circus and non-circus individuals, data will be acquired and analyzed. Further research will provide background information of both types of circuses. Results indicate that an individual's preference can be determined based on the linguistic and semiotic terms used when describing the circus. Introduction Throughout my life, I have always been intrigued by the circus. As a result, I joined the Gamma Phi Circus, here at Illinois State University, in order to obtain a better understanding of circus in our culture. A brief explanation of the title is useful in understanding my paper. I chose the title "Through the 'Front Door' to the 'Backyard'" because "front door" is circus lingo for the doors that a person goes through on entering the tent. The word "backyard" refers to the area in which behind the tent where all the people in the production of the circus park their trailers. This title encompasses the range of information that I have gathered from performers, to directors, to audience members.
