    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.

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.

    5th Year August 9, 1976 Number 32 During a regular performance of RBBB's Blue Unit at Ingle- wood, Calif. (July 21), Miss Emilia Ivanova (23) achieved a new circus "first" when she did a quadruple back somersault to the high perch chair. The feat was accomplished during the presentation of the Kehaiovi Troupe's teeterboard act (consisting of 11 people), and Miss Ivanova was caught by the group's leader George Kehaiov. Emilia has been with the troupe for 4 years, and prior to that studied acrobatics under Lasar Dobritch in Bulgaria. When she joined the troupe she was do- films were made at each rehear- ing doubles to the chair and just last year started doing triples sal to study the problems that during the act. developed. Her first two serious attempts were successful.
