Circus Report, February 15, 1982, Vol. 11, No. 7 February 15, 1982 SABO'S CHIMPS on TV's "Saturday Night Live" Show Adriatic Animal Attractions, Inc. Josip Marcan - President For the 1981 and 1982 season, my new mixed act of lions and tigers has been exclusively contracted by the Hawthorn Circus Corp. for bookings. But the ani- mals and equipment remain solely owned by me. However, I have trained and added to my act - 8 ti- gers belonging to the Hawthorn Circus Corp., enlarg- ing my act to 19 animals. My enlarged act shall be re- ferred to as: Marcan's Mixed Lions and Tigers Com- bined with the Hawthorn Tigers. Due to the fact that the Hawthorn Circus Corp. al- ready owns an act referred to as the "Hawthorn Ti- gers", it has become necessary to distinguish the dif- ference of the act which I own and the Hawthorn act. I hope this will clarify the ownership and billing of my act.

  • National Circus and Acrobats of the People's Republic of China
    Friday, September 11, 2015, 8pm Saturday, September 12, 2015, 2pm & 8pm Zellerbach Hall National Circus and Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China Peking Dreams Cal Performances’ $"#%–$"#& season is sponsored by Wells Fargo. PROGRAM Peking Dreams EKING (known today as Beijing), the capital of the People’s Republic of China, is a Pfamous historical and cultural city with a history spanning 1,000 years and a wealth of precious Chinese cultural heritage, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and the Temple of Heaven. Acrobatic art, Chinese circus, and Peking opera are Chinese cultural treasures and are beloved among the people of Peking. These art forms combine music, acrobatics, performance, mime, and dance and share many similarities with Western culture. Foreign tourists walking along the streets or strolling through the parks of Peking can often hear natives sing beautiful Peking opera, see them play diabolo or perform other acrobatics. Peking Dreams , incorporating elements of acrobatics, Chinese circus, and Peking opera, invites audiences into an artistic world full of history and wonder. The actors’ flawless performance, colorful costumes, and elaborate makeup will astound audiences with visual and aural treats. PROGRAM Opening Acrobatic Master and His Pupils The Peking courtyard is bathed in bright moonlight. In the dim light of the training room, three children formally become pupils to an acrobatic master. Through patient teaching, the master is determined to pass his art and tradition down to his pupils. The Drunken Beauty Amidst hundreds of flowers in bloom, the imperial concubine in the Forbidden City admires the full moon while drinking and toasting.

    featuring Nik Wallenda & “Grandma” Welcome to the of 1 Welcome to the On behalf of all the performers, administrative staff, design team and crew, we welcome you to this very special production of the Big Apple Circus. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of a beloved New York City cultural gem that has delighted generations of families during its traditional holiday season at Lincoln Center and cities up and down the East Coast and as far west as Chicago.

  • The Prescott Clowns
    The Prescott Clowns From Prescott Elementary School Oakland, California This energetic group of clowns is directed in an after school program by Aileen Moffitt, a second grade teacher, aka "Irma La Clown." These children receive training in circus skills from professionals, then dazzle everyone with their juggling, unicycle riding, and dancing. They give back to their community tenfold with workshops in classrooms and performances at many commu- nity events, nursing homes, and shelters -- besides a long list of school assemblies. "Wherever we perform -- from lavish banquet receptions to small neighborhood events -- it is our intention to dispel negative myths about the children of West Oakland. And we do!" These children sometimes labeled "at risk," become "at promise'' behind a red nose. On the cover: The 1998 Senior Prescott Clowns Photos by: Betty McAfee, except where indicated. Clown Makeup by: the Clowns themselves Clockwise from the top left: Jacori “Orangey Orange” Lee; Tashika ‘”Lifesaver” Boston; Brandon “YoYo” Swain; Angelina “Slinky” Johnson; Robert “CiMore” Gaines; Jerome “Feather” Martin; Alexis “Roller Coaster” Meredith; Eric “E.T.” Yanez; Dominique “Sunny” Simmons; Aracely “Rosey” Rodriques; Angelic “Cherry Nose” Brown; Jessica “Polar Bear” Bennett; Shamika “Genie” Bell; Olajuwon “Bogus” Bell. Photo by: Aileen Moffitt “All it takes is a warm heart and a red nose.” Aileen Moffitt started this school clown program after taking a clown class with Arina Iscaason 20 years ago at the Oakland Parks and Recreation Department. This will be the 15th season for the Prescott Clown Troupe. Last year in addition to the Senior Clowns, they incorporated a Junior Clown Troupe - third graders of 8 or 9 years old.

    M« Miiiifi eiiHS fllljj 5th Year Ma> 2k, 1976 Number 21 Show Folds in Texas An anticipated circus day at San Antonio (Texas) turned out to be a disappointment for fans and show folks alike. 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.
