Circus Report, May 24, 1976, Vol. 5, No. 21
M« Miiiifi eiiHS fllljj 5th Year Ma> 2k, 1976 Number 21 Show Folds in Texas An anticipated circus day at San Antonio (Texas) turned out to be a disappointment for fans and show folks alike. 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.

Back Yard, March 15, 1999, Vol. IV, No. 63
Volume IV, Issue #63 March 15,1999 DEATH-DEFYING CIRCUS BEAUTIES *Back Stage Interview With Brave Girls* Eily Ardeity By Edythe Farrell-July,1941 (Article origin unknown) An angry, ferocious lion jumped from his perch in the center ring, & leaped with calculated fury upon the buxom figure of May Kovar. Faced with a tragic situation which would make 99 out of 100 women faint, the plucky, attractive animal trainer held her ground. Had she faltered a step, or lost her nerve she might not have been able to tell me this story, as I sat with her in her improvised wooden dressing room backstage at Madison Square Garden, and heard her thrilling, hair- raising tales of her narrow escapes! "Had I lost my head that day," May confided, "I would undoubtedly have lost my head in actuality. But in this business that is the last thing one must do. The job of animal trainer calls, first for a love of animals, and second, for a lack of fear. While you stand your ground you will be safe, if you fall back & show the animal that you are afraid, he becomes the master & you are lost." Fundamentally, every iota of fear must be left outside the cage when the trainer enters. May's narrow escape came as a result of a change of costume, a change which the lion did not know or welcome. "You see, I had donned an Oriental costume for that particular performance. The animals had been accustomed to seeing me in the customary white shirt, breeches & boots, and I can't say that I blame them for their reaction. -

Summer-Ink-Collection-2015.Pdf
Summer Ink Introduction Over the years, we’ve often been asked about Summer Ink’s “secret sauce.” After all, campers arrive at the doors to Simmons College each summer with a range of skills and emotions: some eager to write, others cringing at the prospect of putting pen to paper; some writing short stories, others working on fundamental grammar and sentence structure. By the end of each two- week session, a remarkable transformation has occurred. We see an energized community of writers invested in their own writing and supportive of those around them. When an activity ends, we watch campers grab pens and flip to a clean page of their journals. We see furrowed brows as campers concentrate and compose. What inspires the transformation? A marvelous staff of educators dedicated to making writing fun; a positive, playful atmosphere that encourages social and academic risk-taking, a rock solid writing curriculum—The Writers’ Express Method™, and a sense of spontaneity that infuses each camp day. We are proud to present the 2015 Summer Ink Collection, a tribute to the learning and excitement of this past season. In these pages you will find samples of each Summer Ink camper’s work, with two types of writing represented. Journal entries are short bursts of writing in which campers immediately capture in words their reactions to an experience. In these raw, spontaneous entries campers practice adding focus and vivid detail to their writing to convey a unique perspective. The polished piece gives campers an opportunity to organize their thoughts into a longer, more complex presentation, put a variety of writing skills to work at once, and of course, fix grammatical and spelling errors in preparation for publication. -

Laura Lippert Citizenship: American Age: 32 [email protected] www.lauralippert.com SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS Laura Lippert presents her audience with a beautiful mélange of both traditional and contemporary technique and movement. Her innovative style is pervasive throughout her acts; whether they are performed using her custom-designed and fabricated chair apparatus, or through her mastery of the rare art of hair-hanging. Laura’s drive to seek out and master such a unique skill such as hanging by one’s hair is characteristic of her passion for pushing herself to explore the new and unusual, while keeping a firm basis in the traditions of her trade. The power and grace with which she navigates her many astonishing abilities is exceptional, and clearly the result of a solid foundation in dance, performance and collaborative experience. She is truly a masterful, amicable and generous performer; an uncommon talent whose rapturous work must simply be experienced to be properly communicated.
