    Cossin, Ross and Gosselin 1 Prepared using sagej.cls Journal Title Making single point aerial XX(X):3–27 ©The Author(s) 2016 circus disciplines safer Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/ToBeAssigned www.sagepub.com/ Marion Cossin1, Annie Ross1 and Fred´ erick´ P. Gosselin1 Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure the dynamic tension force between the apparatus and the hanging equipment of five aerial circus apparatus and to recommend minimal loading requirements in rigging and design. Forces generated by different acrobatic movements were measured and synchronized with video recordings. Sixteen students of the National Circus School of Montreal´ (Canada) participated in the study. Maximal forces were analysed and characterized with respect to the discipline, the type of movement and the schooling level of the student. The maximal force measured was 5.3 kN performed in the discipline of aerial straps, equivalent to 7.9 times the bodyweight of the performer. A minimal breaking strength of 22 kN for the hanging point and all the equipment holding the rig is recommended. A minimal breaking strength of 22 kN for straps, 17 kN for rope, and 12 kN for silk, aerial hoop and dance trapeze is recommended. Keywords Aerial circus discipline, maximal forces, safety, circus rigging, acrobat mass Prepared using sagej.cls [Version: 2015/06/09 v1.01] Cossin, Ross and Gosselin 3 Introduction Aerial acrobats use their own force to lift their body and execute various movements requiring extreme strength and precision similar to gymnastics. Aerial acrobatics encompass all disciplines requiring the rigging of an apparatus at a height.

  • 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.

  • Dust Palace Roving and Installation Price List 2017
    ROVING AND INSTALLATION CIRQUE ENTERTAINMENT HAND BALANCE AND CONTORTION One of our most common performance installations is Hand Balance Contortion. Beautiful and graceful this incredible art is mastered by very few, highly skilled performers. Roving or installation spots are only possible for 30 mins at a time and are priced at $950+gst per performer. ADAGIO AND ACROBATICS Adagio, hand to hand, balance acrobatics and trio acro are all ways to describe the art of balancing people on people. Usually performed as a couple this is the same as hand balance contortion in that it’s only possible for 30 minute stints. Roving or installation can be performed in any style and we’re always happy to incorporate your events theme or branding into the theatrics around the skill. Performers are valued at $950+gst per 30 minute slot. MANIPULATION SKILLS Manipulation skills include; Hula Hoops, Juggling, Cigar boxes, Diabolo, Chin Balancing, Poi Twirling, Plate Spinning and Crystal Ball. As a roving or installation act these are fun and lively, bringing some nice speedy movement to the room. All are priced by the ‘performance hour’ which includes 15 minutes break and range between $400+gst and $700+gst depending on the performer and the skill. Some performers are capable of character work and audience interaction. Working these skills in synchronisation with multiple performers is a super cool look. Most of these skills can be performed with LED props. EQUILIBRISTICS aka balance skills The art of balancing on things takes many long hours of dedication to achieve even the most basic result.

    Do degrees in circus provide the requisite graduate attributes to successfully transition to industry? MSc Dance Science and Education The University of Edinburgh 2018 s1264210 Acknowledgements In writing this dissertation there were many people who helped me along the way.

I also wish to acknowledge the help provided by: Wendy, my supervisor; the participants of the study for being willing to answer my many questions; Morag, Melvin and Jonathan Taylor for proofreading everything. This project wouldn’t be what it is without you all. Finally my special thanks are extended to all the staff at Aerial Edge for introducing me to the spectacular world of circus, but most especially to Chiara, for being a circademic and giving me advice on thesis writing, and Scott for saving my life on numerous occasions during my high flying misadventures.
