Featuring Nik Wallenda & “Grandma” 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 40th Anniversary celebrates the rebirth of a New York City and American cultural institution. After declaring bankruptcy in 2016, the Big Apple Circus seemed destined for extinction. Each of us in front and behind the curtain are honored to be part of this renaissance. The circus transcends all barriers bringing together children and adults of all ages, cultures and faith. For two hours, the world inside the Big Top transforms into a colorful kaleidoscope of wonder, amazement and laughter for all to of share. At the Big Apple Circus, we are committed to continuing the outreach programs so every child will have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the Circus. This year we will be expanding the number of shows adapted for children and young adults with Autism as well as those with hearing and visual challenges through our Circus of the Senses. In addition, we continue our commitment to provide children less fortunate the opportunity to attend the circus. Welcome back and enjoy the show. All of us at Big Apple Circus thank you for your support and hope you enjoy the magic and thrill of this special 40th Anniversary Show. Neil Kahanovitz Chairman Big Apple Circus 1 Neil Kahanovitz As a child, when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, the answer never changed, “an orthopedic surgeon and a circus performer.” He achieved both dreams. While attending medical school, he took a leave of absence and began performing in a comedy trampoline act and later as an aerialist in circuses across the country and Hawaii. Once he graduated, Kahanovitz went on to a distinguished career in the medical field. He has published over 50 articles in scientific journals, written about spinal disorders in eleven medical textbooks and published a book on the care and treatment of low back pain. He has served as President of the North American Spine Society and received the prestigious Volvo Award for Low Back Pain Research, as well as a Commendation from The United States House Physician’s Office for his care and surgery performed on members of the United States Supreme Court and Congress. He was also awarded one of the Soviet Union’s most prestigious civilian honors, The Order of The Supreme Soviet Medal of Personal Courage, for organizing relief efforts following a devastating earthquake in Armenia. Despite the success of his medical career, his show business interests resurfaced in the late 1990’s. He has since produced plays and musicals on Broadway, in London’s West End, Chicago, Los Angeles and Off-Broadway. He is thrilled to bring the BIG APPLE CIRCUS back to its rightful place among the most cherished of New York City’s cultural icons. And for a chance to run away with the circus. Not once, but twice! Michael Couper Prior to joining the Big Apple Circus, Michael held leadership positions at Sony, Disney, NBC Universal and Miramax. He was also the founder of Magniture Capital Ventures, a successful New York based consulting firm. His 20 plus year history of consistently delivering stellar results comes from his ability to manage and motivate cross-functional teams, develop innovative opportunities, structure acquisitions, quickly assess and resolve the challenges of a new business venture and negotiate creative partnerships. He has a B.A. in Finance from Michigan State University and a M.B.A. from Wayne State University. He currently resides in New York, NY. Michael finds his oler as CEO of the Big Apple Circus as both exciting and rewarding and he welcomes all to the Big Apple Circus 40th Anniversary 2 Season. 3 Th is is Big Apple Circus’s 40th Anniversary Season, having been founded by Paul Binder & Michael Christensen in 1977.

Nik has “walked” over Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, Chicago skyline (blindfolded), and atop the 400ft tall Orlando Eye. Er endira Wallenda (Nik’s wife) broke his record for “iron jaw” this past summer, by hanging from a helicopter, by her teeth, 300 feet above Niagara Falls. This record breaking moment commemorated the 5th Anniversary of Nik’s walk across the Niagara Falls. The circus acts in our show are truly death-defying. Of course, we are very safety-conscious with our humans as well, and have the best technical & safety team available. IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR! ANIMALS There are two sets of brothers in this year’s cast!

  • 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.

  • The Man Who Walks on Air Last Year He Became the First Person in History to Walk a Tightrope Directly Over Niagara Falls
    Nik Wallenda—Scion of the Wallenda Dynasty of Daredevils The Man Who Walks On Air Last year he became the first person in history to walk a tightrope directly over Niagara Falls. A few weeks ago he became the first man to grace a highwire above the dizzying drop of the Grand Canyon. Now he is planning to walk from the Empire State Building to the Chrysler Building, covering nine city blocks high above the busy streets of Manhattan. Nik Wallenda has made himself famous as funambulist par excellence with his tightrope walks over the most frightening spots around the world. He knows that some of his predecessors were killed in the attempt, yet he is convinced that he is destined to die a natural death. - Aviva Sternfeld 30 | ZMAN • September 2013 ZMAN • Elul 5773 | 31 aredevils may be motivated by fame courage” in the early 1920s, Karl Wallenda or money.

  • 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.

The Discovery Channel hopes to capture an elusive real-time audience in the DVR era. The network plans to keep the almost-live telecast of Wallenda’s progress on viewers’ TV screens even during the commer- cials, using a “double box” that will show advertisements and Wallenda simultaneously. The Marina City towers have been on screens - Steve McQueen chased a fugitive around the west tower’s corkscrew parking ramp in “The Hunter” - and graced the album cover of Wilco’s 2002 “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.” Once-in-a-lifetime Hours before the tightrope walk, Scott Jensen of Schaumburg, a Chicago suburb, waited to watch the spec- tacle with his 15-year-old son, Matthew, and Matthew’s friend Tommy Demaret, also 15.

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.
