Trapeze in the Circus Warehouse! Trapeze in the Circus Warehouse! Ever thought of trying out trapeze classes? Well now you definitely can at the Circus Warehouse located in Long Island City Queens. Founded in September of 2010, Circus Warehouse not only works on producing the next generation of circus performers, but also focuses on training non- pro circus enthusiasts. Static Trapeze Static Trapeze is a type of circus art performed on the trapeze bar. Unlike flying trapeze, on static trapeze the bars and ropes mainly stay in place. Most often, the static trapeze is about 1.5 feet wide and the bar is generally 2 inches in diameter. While taking a static trapeze class, you will learn to use the bar and ropes to pose, invert, balance and drop into thrilling positions. But before you get into the exciting part, there is a 30 minute workout session in order to get loosen up and get the blood flowing. After growing comfortable with solo work, you can also learn to work in pairs and teams to build shapes in the air, turning them inside out and upside down in poses that highlight both strength and flexibility. Class Prices If you are dropping in to take a single class, it will cost $65. However, you can purchase class cards depending on how many classes you are looking to take, and that also includes unlimited workout time during regular Warehouse hours until the card expires. All the equipment necessary is provided by the warehouse, so all you need to bring is a bottle of water, perhaps a towel and of course, yourself!

  • Challenging Artists to Create Tomorrow's Circus Circadium Is the Only Higher-Education Program for Circus Artists in the United States
    Challenging Artists to Create Tomorrow's Circus Circadium is the only higher-education program for circus artists in the United States. We offer a full-time, three-year course that grants a Diploma of Circus Arts, recognized by the Pennsylvania Board of Education. We are committed to radically changing the future of circus, and performing arts as a whole, by bringing a multidisci- plinary and experiment-driven approach to creation and performance. As a 501(c)3 organization, the school relies on individual contributions and foundation support to cover costs that cannot be offset by student tuition. We keep our tuition rates low to encourage students from different backgrounds to attend, and to ensure that they will not launch their artistic careers bur- dened by student debt. Circus Arts are Thriving Worldwide, contemporary representations of circus are thriving and expanding – from Cirque du Soleil, to Pink’s performance at the Grammys, to the wide array of theatre and dance groups that incorporate elements of acrobatics, aerials, and clowning into their performances. Circus is no longer confined to the Big Top, as artists in every discipline discover its rich potential for physical expression. And yet, until now the United States lacked a dedicated facility for training contemporary circus artists. Students who wanted to train intensively in circus traveled to Canada, Europe, or Australia. They often stayed in those countries and established companies, meaning that now virtually all of the edgy, exciting, vibrant new circus companies are based overseas. There are a growing number of arts presenters in the U.S. who are clamoring for these kinds of shows – and the only way to get them has been to import them.

  • Florida State University Flying High Circus
    Florida State University Flying High Circus There has been an FSU Flying High Circus for almost as long as there has been a Florida State University. When the Florida State College for Women went coeducational in 1947, one of the new faculty members was Jack Haskin. As a high school coach in Pontiac, Illinois, Haskin had staged student gymnastic exhibitions. He wanted to start an activity at the new university which would allow men and women to participate together. His idea was the circus. The Flying High Circus is a self-supporting activity. No student activity fees, tuition payments, university or state funds go towards circus activities. Unlike many other athletic endeavors, the students receive no tuition waivers or university scholarships for their long hours of practice for the nationally famous shows that bring credit to FSU. The acts in the Flying High Circus have evolved from "circus activity" to "circus professionalism.” Performances are often of such high caliber that professional contracts are sometimes offered to student performers, especially on the flying trapeze. In the circus, you will see tricks attempted and completed that are more difficult than many you would see in other American or European circuses. Examples include the triple somersault on the flying trapeze (accomplished by two performers at FSU), the seven man pyramid on the high wire (which has only been performed by two other groups), double back somersaults on the skypole and many more. Some acts are unique to the FSU Circus or are rarely done elsewhere such as triple aerial high casting and three-lane breakaway.

In the midst of a steady rain Circus Galaxy folded in that .city on May 9th. Early this year announcements about the circus indicated it would rival the best shows on the road. Phone crews started their San Antonio promotion about two months ago. While they were vague about the show's name they were positive it was a "large tented show" with the best of everything. CFA's who saw the circus at Victoria described it as "a small show" with no show owned equipment. They called it strictly "a drum and organ show" with the Oscarian Family and some Mexican performers. Six performances were scheduled for San Antonio, but prior to the first show, performers were told they (Continued on Page 16) A VAILABLE fOP LIMITED ENGAGEMENTS HOLLYWOOD ELEPHANTS Contact JUDY JACOBSKAYE Suit* 519 • 1680 North Vine Street • Hollywood, California • 90028 Area Code 213 • 462-6001 Page 2 The Circus Report American Continental by MIKE SPORRER The 1976 circus season got off to a big start with the arriv- al of the American Continental Circus at Seattle, Wash.
