This roundup marks the official beginning to circus performance season. This handbook is prepared by the Circus City Booster Club to familiarize you with the rules, regulations, and important information regarding the 2018 circus performance season. Brande Brehmer and Bryan Maggart are this year’s circus producers and are available to answer any questions or concerns regarding the information contained within this handbook. Our skilled trainers represent countless years of dedicated service to our organization. Beginning as performers themselves, and having the desire to continue to perpetuate what we now know as America’s Circus Spectacular. They will be working with the producers, the performers, the parents, and volunteers to continue to safely provide what is truly the greatest youth program in the State of Indiana. We look forward to your participation and cooperation in continuing the tradition of excellence established over the past 59 years. The Board of Directors of the Circus City Festival appreciates the efforts of each parent, performer and volunteer.

Boys may perform in four acts. Tumbling IS NOT considered an act. 3. All performers will be expected to be at all performances. If a performance must be missed, it must first be cleared through the circus producers. 4. Wardrobe personnel are in charge of all questions concerning wardrobe and makeup. Whether or not performers are allowed in the arena on bleachers during the show depend on their behavior and the size of the audience. The circus producers will make all decisions RIGGING: 1. Each performer and trainer will be responsible for his/her own rigging, its maintenance, care, and storage before and during show time. This includes: A. Periodic inspection B. Storage after practice (not on floor) C. Keeping it neat and orderly D. Putting away and straightening all cables and blocks E. Preparation and painting of equipment before show time 2. Misuse of equipment, including crash pads and nets, will not be tolerated. Offenders will be asked to leave or suspended from practice for that day. 3.

The trainer must excuse any missed practice in advance. Parents do not plan vacations or trips from the first of May through circus week. If you are unable to comply with this rule, your child may be cut from the show. ATTENDANCE IS NOT A SUGGESTION- IT IS REQUIRED! This circus is a team effort: therefore, absenteeism could possibly put performers in a dangerous situation. Also, if absenteeism inhibits the development of the act, it will have the same effect on the entire show. The safety of your child(ren) and other performers depends on excellence in attendance. If safety becomes a concern for any act that has performers who are not coming to practice, they will be cut from the act(s). If absences endanger the quality of the act, the performer will be replaced. Parents will be notified of absences that are disrupting an act’s advancement. Parents are encouraged to attend practices and to get to know other parents. 3. There will be no practice without the presence of a trainer. 4. Disrespect toward trainers will not be tolerated. 5.

The trainer for each act will decide the proper dress apparel for practice. 8. Anyone working above a height of eight feet will be required to use safety devices designated by the trainer and approved by the equipment vice president. 9. The tack room is off limits to all performers at all times, unless given permission by equipment vice president 10. No equipment will leave the building without permission from equipment vice president 11. The office is off limits to performers unless given permission by the trainer or producer.

  • Woodstock & the Circus
    LOCAL HISTORY WOODSTOCK & MCHENRY COUNTY Woodstock and the Circus by Kirk Dawdy Soon after its establishment in 1852 Woodstock became a consistent destination for circus shows. Several different outfits visited Woodstock over the years, including the Burr Robbins, Forepaugh, Cole, W.B. Reynolds, Gollmar Brothers, Ringling Brothers and Barnum circuses. The first documented circus in Woodstock was “Yankee” Robinson’s Quadruple Show in October of 1856. Robinson, a direct descendant of Pastor John Robinson, religious leader of the "Pilgrim Fathers" who journeyed to North America aboard the Mayflower, established his first travelling circus in 1854, two years prior to visiting Woodstock. An ardent abolitionist, Robinson included in his circuses minstrel shows based on Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. In fact, Robinson was the very first to ever take a dramatized version of Uncle Tom’s Cabin on the road. In “Yankee” Robinson’s 1856 Woodstock visit, in addition to presenting a band of African-American minstrels performing in a production of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, he also exhibited live animals (including an elephant), a museum of curiosities, Dilly Fay the Shanghai Clown and Miss Paintero, a ‘Creole Lady’ who made a grand ascension on a 400 foot tightrope to the very top of the circus tent. Also advertised for “Yankee’s” visit was a grand parade around the Woodstock square. Circus parades were a crowd favorite and staple for all other circuses that visited Woodstock, weather permitting. Feeling his name sounded too foreign, especially during the anti-immigrant sentiments of the mid-1850s, Fayette Lodawick Robinson adopted the professional name “Yankee”.

  • 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 Prescott Clowns From Prescott Elementary School Oakland, California This energetic group of clowns is directed in an after school program by Aileen Moffitt, a second grade teacher, aka "Irma La Clown." These children receive training in circus skills from professionals, then dazzle everyone with their juggling, unicycle riding, and dancing. They give back to their community tenfold with workshops in classrooms and performances at many commu- nity events, nursing homes, and shelters -- besides a long list of school assemblies. "Wherever we perform -- from lavish banquet receptions to small neighborhood events -- it is our intention to dispel negative myths about the children of West Oakland. And we do!" These children sometimes labeled "at risk," become "at promise'' behind a red nose. On the cover: The 1998 Senior Prescott Clowns Photos by: Betty McAfee, except where indicated.

This will be the 15th season for the Prescott Clown Troupe. Last year in addition to the Senior Clowns, they incorporated a Junior Clown Troupe - third graders of 8 or 9 years old.
