  • The Erosion of Aboriginal Identity in Circus, 1851–1960
    Celebrated at first, then implied and finally denied: the erosion of Aboriginal identity in circus, 1851–1960 Mark Valentine St Leon Circus in a modern form was first presented in London in the late 18th century. Philip Astley (1742–1814), a former cavalryman, gave open-air displays of trick riding in 1768 in a ring within a roped-off field at Lambeth on the southern side of the Thames. These displays were eventually enclosed, roofed over and given in a building, which he called Astley’s Amphitheatre.1 The establishment was popularly referred to as ‘the circus’, a word used at the time to describe the open-air circular recreational riding tracks in and around London.2 The ring, the essence of the circus experience, was a primordial device for grouping an audience around a spectacle of human activity.3 On the other side of the world, Australia’s Aboriginal people employed the same device for ceremonies such as a corroboree, the earliest performances by Aborigines to be witnessed by Euro- peans.4 Astley’s remained the international centre of circus well into the 19th century. By the early 1800s, provincial Britain was served by numerous circuses of various sizes and reputations, which travelled by road.5 These companies and others on the Conti- nent, the newish United States and eventually in the new colonies of Australia mimicked Astley’s programs. Also mimicked were the exquisite equestrian panto- mimes devised by Andrew Ducrow (1798–1842), the principal equestrian, lessee and manager of Astley's from 1825 until his death. Despite the popularity of circus entertainments in 19th-century England, circus performers inherited the inferior social standing of itinerant entertainers.

  • John Bill Ricketts and the Edinburgh Equestrian Circus
    5 Kim Baston La Trobe University, Australia Transatlantic Journeys: John Bill Ricketts and the Edinburgh Equestrian Circus John Bill Ricketts is generally credited as the founder of American circus, setting up a circus in Philadelphia in 1793. This paper examines evidence from Ricketts’ early career in England and Scotland and argues that the successful transplant of the early modern circus form initiated by Philip Astley into America rested on Ricketts’ experiences with a small circus in Edinburgh, established by the equestrian performers George Jones and William Parker. Not only did this circus provide a repertoire and a business model which Ricketts replicated in his American circuses but, crucially, provided him with a network of experienced performers whom he subsequently employed. The first circus in America owed much to the first circus in Scotland. Kim Baston is a Senior Lecturer in Theatre and Drama at La Trobe University, Melbourne. Keywords: John Bill Ricketts, circus, equestrian, American circus, Edinburgh circus, James Jones, George Jones he equestrian performer, John Bill Ricketts, is generally credited with T being the founder of circus in the Americas, setting up a circus in Philadelphia in 1793, and going on to establish circus buildings along the eastern seaboard, and in Canada. As an originating figure, his achievements are listed in almost every history of the American circus, whether popular or academic. Many existing histories, however, attach Ricketts in a seamless lineage to either Philip Astley, founder of Astley’s Amphitheatre and the institution of the early modern circus in England, or, more commonly, to an apprenticeship with Astley’s rival, Charles Hughes, founder of the Royal Circus.1 This link was first questioned by James S.

  • “ Cirque in Transition”

"There's no reason why the circus can't change with the times." – Guy Caron At the end of 1998, the creative team behind so many of Cirque du Soleil's productions in the 1990s - Franco Dragone, Michel Crete and Dominique Lemieux - concluded their remarkable run of artistic and professional development with the company, leaving the creative reins to future shows in the hands of others and giving Cirque du Soleil an interesting dilemma to overcome during the first-half of the new millennium: how to move on from a very successful run of productions under the helm of Franco Dragone and his team of conceptors and show the world it could still re-invent the circus. Faced with the challenge of mounting a new show, with a new team, in a compressed period of time, Guy Laliberté turned to an old friend: Guy Caron. Since he had left Cirque in 1988, Caron had maintained friendly relations with Laliberté. In 1992, he had even directed a show called “Cirque Knie Presents Cirque du Soleil” for the Swiss National Circus, produced in collaboration with Cirque. Caron's job wasn't easy, though. He'd have to pick up the creative pieces and attempt to meet or exceed the expectations laid down by the likes of Quidam, “O” and La Nouba. Despite the challenges - or perhaps because of them - Laliberté and Caron were able to show that it was the creative juices of the whole rather than just one man that drove the company, and it was during this period of transition that Cirque du Soleil began to branch out beyond theatrical productions; Cirque would dive into the realm of motion pictures and television full-force with Journey of Man (IMAX film), Fire Within (reality series) and Solstrom (variety series).

An internal memo obtained to all employees dated February 25, 2004 outlined this change, and more: First, the appointment of Daniel Lamarre as the new President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company, allowing Laliberté to virtually step back from the day-to-day operational responsibilities and focus more on the creative side of projects, which he said was the most dear to him. “This change comes at a time when Cirque is facing new business and organizational realities,” Laliberté said. With many new ventures on the drawing board, Laliberté will be busy. Laliberté will retain the title of Founder, CEO and “Guide”. The new role will be supported by five senior vice-presidents, including two recently created — Senior Vice-President of Shows, and Senior Vice-President of New Ventures). This change also merits a change to Cirque du Soleil’s Executive Board, which shall now consist of seven members — Guy Laliberté, Marc Gagnon, Michael Bolingbroke, Robert Blain, Eric Foumier and a position to be determined. The second profound statement in the memo is an announcement of the upcoming departure of Lyn Heward, President and COO of the Creative Content Division. Her slated departure is 2005; however, Heward is remaining on-board as an advisor until her replacement arrives.

    What happens when circus “ intoxicating, tumultuous abandons its big top and production…” invades a theatre? Donald Hutera, The Times (Immortal) Circus and theatre are two parallel worlds. Nofitstate has always travelled a path somewhere between the two. Our tented shows, Immortal and tabú, reinvented circus in a big top with a promenade style, a multi-stage environment, and a fusion of circus and physical theatre. These award-winning shows have travelled throughout the world to great critical acclaim - amazing audiences wherever they go. This exciting new co-production with National Theatre Wales, Théâtre Tattoo and the Torch Theatre takes the best from both worlds and once again reinvents circus - but this time for a theatre stage. This collaboration has allowed us to deconstruct our circus skills and traditions and put them into a new context, given us the opportunity to re-examine what we do and how we do it. Through this process we have found a new performance vocabulary, developed new equipment and embraced the possibilities and magic of the theatre space. In National Theatre Wales’ 1st year and Nofistate’s 25th we create a truly new and innovative piece of work that is fresh, exciting, accessible and Mundo Paralelo is a co-production engaging. Once more pushing the art form further in different directions between National Theatre Wales, but always in parallel.
