Circus Report, May 2, 1977, Vol. 6, No. 18 6th Year May 2,1977 Number 18 Vashek Thrills R.I. Providence, R. I., April 16th — At high noon, in this city, the Great Vashek and Cathy duplicated their sensational motorcycle "Sky Ride", which was first performed on March 3rd in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A week's preparations had been instituted by Circus Odyssey owner-pro- ducer Ed Migley and the aerialists drove up from Florida ten days in advance of the promotional stunt and their opening with Circus Odyssey on April 18th, at the University of Rhode Island at Kingston. The "flight path" originated at the 120 ft. high Howard Building, over downtown Provi- dence to the 200 ft. high Biltmore Hotel. A wind gusting to 23 miles per hour did not deter their mid-day performance. The Dynamic Duo were chauffered to the site in a Cadillac limousine, es- corted by police with sirens wailing. Television crews from Boston and other New England cities recorded the event. Also attending were A BIG JOB members of the press from UPI. The San Francisco zoo elephant Penny has It has been intimated that a third, more never forgotten an operation she had ten years incredible stunt will be performed outside the ago.

Atwell, Circus Photographer, in the Mayer Gallery. Both exhibitions will be on view April 19–June 29, 2008. The Chazen will also host a special weekend of circus celebrations, featuring performers, music, and food, on May 9 and 10. Information about these events and other exhibition-related programming follow. Exhibitions Ringmaster: Judy Onofrio and the Art of the Circus. Judy Onofrio’s life-sized sculptures of extraordinary performers, animals, and circus acts will be exhibited alongside examples of banners, posters, and carvings—drawn from the Circus World Museum collection—that have inspired her work. Onofrio’s glittering constructions are carved, molded, painted, and assembled from wood, fiberglass, beads, ceramic shards, and collected objects. With Onofrio as ringmaster, these materials take form as contortionists, acrobats, and magicians of yesteryear who once again twist, soar, and cast spells for audiences. In addition, a documentary of the 1920s and 30s Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and a filmed interview with artist Judy Onofrio will be available in the Ringmaster exhibition. Harry A. Atwell, Circus Photographer. Forty-two black-and-white photographs by Harry A. Atwell (1879–1957) survey his significant career photographing the golden age of America’s tented shows.

    01 2019 WINTER/SPRING WWW.SANDIEGOCIRCUSCENTER.ORG FROM THE RINGMASTER UPCOMING EVENTS GET TO KNOW WHAT’S NEW FROM THE RINGMASTER 2018 was MAGNIFICENT and we welcome 2019! Looking back on last year gets me lost with everything we accomplished. We produced two successful shows, Jubilee and ParaSoul, and offered amazing summer camps and intensives. We also had to say goodbye to some of our preparatory students as they continue their circus journey, but we also welcomed new students, new talents and new prospects. Moving into 2019 is a big step, with our plans for this year, but with the continued community support we feel that SDCC will continue to thrive and push the bar. We are excited to announce our relationship with Cirque du Soleil and their support to assist us in furthering our circus artistry. This summer will be the start of that relationship! All of our success could not happen without the community, students, support staff and teachers. Thank you for your continued trust and forward thinking. ONWARD!

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).

  • Cirque Mechanics Study Guide
    Prepared by Aida Lashua & Skye Strauss - INTRODUCTION - 42ft is inspired by the mid-1930’s circus “big top,” including the “period” costumes and the music. It takes us backstage and allows the audience to witness “a day in the life of a 1930’s circus performer.” THIS GUIDE HAS THREE DISCUSSION SECTIONS • CIRCUS HISTORY & PRODUCTION INSPIRATION • A brief introduction to historical circus will help students understand circus life and customs as they appear in the production. They will also learn how circus turns of phrase have become familiar idioms. • This section also introduces artists that inspired the creators of 42ft from across media platforms. These include LIFE Magazine’s photographs of the 1930’s, Charlie Chaplin’s films, and Sarah Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants. • HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES: THE GREAT DEPRESSION • The time period for this show coincides with The Great Depression, framing circus as an important form of popular entertainment and contextualizing it in a wider conversation about arts funding through the WPA. • THE SCIENCE OF CIRCUS: NEWTONS LAWS & SIMPLE MACHINES • For the acrobats, performing extraordinary feats requires an understanding of basic principles of physics including inertia, momentum, and centrifugal force. The contraptions in the show are based on simple machines that rely on the same principles to help the acrobats fight against gravity. - GUIDE 1 OF 3 - CIRCUS HISTORY AND PRODUCTION INSPIRATION - CIRCUS HISTORY - The Circus Ring: One of the most popular misconceptions is that circus dates back to Roman antiquity. But the Roman circus was actually the precursor of the modern racetrack; there are only a few common denominators between Roman and modern circuses.

    THE SEARCH FOR THE "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE" THE CIA AND MIND CONTROL John Marks Allen Lane Allen Lane Penguin Books Ltd 17 Grosvenor Gardens London SW1 OBD First published in the U.S.A. by Times Books, a division of Quadrangle/The New York Times Book Co., Inc., and simultaneously in Canada by Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd, 1979 First published in Great Britain by Allen Lane 1979 Copyright <£> John Marks, 1979 All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner ISBN 07139 12790 jj Printed in Great Britain by f Thomson Litho Ltd, East Kilbride, Scotland J For Barbara and Daniel AUTHOR'S NOTE This book has grown out of the 16,000 pages of documents that the CIA released to me under the Freedom of Information Act. Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.
