    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.

  • Acrobats: Building Pyramids for Their Future By: Véronique Sprenger
    Acrobats: Building pyramids for their future By: Véronique Sprenger Master Thesis International Development Studies Graduate School of Social Sciences July, 2018 University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences MSc. International Development Studies Master Thesis1 Acrobats: Building pyramids for their future What are skills that youth in Kangemi, Nairobi develop through acrobat training and how do these translate into capital that they can use in their lives? In the past there has been little research on projects that empower youth in slums through sports or performing arts. Therefore, the aim of this research is to show how youth from slums who train in acrobatics have developed skills that can help them overcome difficulties such as, unemployment and poor education. These skills will then be translated into capital that the acrobats use in their lives. These skills will be derived from one of the unique aspects of acrobatics which is that it is both a sport and a performing art. The research aims to contribute to international development research by researching a unique and local phenomenon that still has potential to be developed. The answers to the research question were obtained through qualitative analysis focusing on participant observation and interviews. The findings will show that through acrobatic training the acrobats do not only gain economic capital, but also develop skills that accumulate cultural, social, symbolic and physical capital. Some of the skills that will stand out from the research are physical strength, communication, showmanship and perseverance. Another highlight of the research is the international work opportunities that the acrobats are able to obtain.

  • Linguistic Variation of the American Circus
    Abstract http://www.soa.ilstu.edu/anthropology/theses/burns/index.htm Through the "Front Door" to the "Backyard": Linguistic Variation of the American Circus Lisa Burns Illinois State University Anthropology Department Dr. James Stanlaw, Advisor May 1, 2003 Abstract The language of circus can be interpreted through two perspectives: the Traditional American Circus and the New American Circus. There is considerable anthropological importance and research within the study of spectacle and circus. However, there is a limited amount of academic literature pertaining to the linguistics and semiotics of circus. Through participant observation and interviewing, of both circus and non-circus individuals, data will be acquired and analyzed. Further research will provide background information of both types of circuses. Results indicate that an individual's preference can be determined based on the linguistic and semiotic terms used when describing the circus. Introduction Throughout my life, I have always been intrigued by the circus. As a result, I joined the Gamma Phi Circus, here at Illinois State University, in order to obtain a better understanding of circus in our culture. A brief explanation of the title is useful in understanding my paper. I chose the title "Through the 'Front Door' to the 'Backyard'" because "front door" is circus lingo for the doors that a person goes through on entering the tent. The word "backyard" refers to the area in which behind the tent where all the people in the production of the circus park their trailers. This title encompasses the range of information that I have gathered from performers, to directors, to audience members.

  • It's a Circus!
    Life? It’s A Circus! Teacher Resource Pack (Primary) INTRODUCTION Unlike many other forms of entertainment, such as theatre, ballet, opera, vaudeville, movies and television, the history of circus history is not widely known. The most popular misconception is that modern circus dates back to Roman times. But the Roman “circus” was, in fact, the precursor of modern horse racing (the Circus Maximus was a racetrack). The only common denominator between Roman and modern circuses is the word circus which, in Latin as in English, means "circle". Circus has undergone something of a revival in recent decades, becoming a theatrical experience with spectacular costumes, elaborate lighting and soundtracks through the work of the companies such as Circus Oz and Cirque du Soleil. But the more traditional circus, touring between cities and regional areas, performing under the big top and providing a more prosaic experience for families, still continues. The acts featured in these, usually family-run, circuses are generally consistent from circus to circus, with acrobatics, balance, juggling and clowning being the central skillsets featured, along with horsemanship, trapeze and tightrope work. The circus that modern audiences know and love owes much of its popularity to film and literature, and the showmanship of circus entrepreneurs such as P.T. Barnum in the mid 1800s and bears little resemblance to its humble beginnings in the 18th century. These notes are designed to give you a concise resource to use with your class and to support their experience of seeing Life? It’s A Circus!
