12Th Annual Children's Premiere Night with Ringling Bros Energy R&W Association February 2009 12th Annual Children’s Premiere Night With Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Verizon Center It’s “Over The Top” Wednesday, March 18th at 7pm, the FREE pre-show is at 6pm Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® and the NIH R&W invites Children Of All Ages to join the Ringling Bros. team in the ALL-NEW, ALL-LIVE 138th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth! This year Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents “Over The Top”. This year there will be two circus events pulled into one BIG show! Both visions for the show mean more excitement for you. The show features the ultimate tug-o-war between Ringmaster and Clown. One dreams of a circus filled with stunt riding and acrobatics while the other sees silly whimsical acts such as a cavalry of goats riding on ponies in a Barnyard Bonanza. The show culminates in an amazing display of gigantic glowing rainforest flowers surrounding Chinese acrobats swinging on vines and pro- pelling through the air. You will see motorcycle riders in the Globe of Steel as well as on the high wire, a rare double-decker trapeze act, the Bombastic Bouncers – a group of acrobats on gigantic inner tubes, lots of animals and all of the circus tradition you are looking for but with a twist! Throughout the show, audiences will witness performers, human and animal, joining forces and taking their skills to the limit of possibility. One step into the arena and spectators will encounter a visually dazzling display that instantly transports them into a magical world. You won’t hear about this on the radio or television because this event is a fund raiser for the NIH Charities and is only for special invitees. Over the years, with your help, NIH has treated over 25,000 special needs children, in the local metro area, to the circus. TICKET PRICES: Seats located in the first rows of the 100 level - $37.00 (Regular price $50.00) Seats located in the 100 and 200 level - $20.00 (Regular price $28.00 Please contact Nancy Dowicki at 301 903-6570 for tickets SEE YOU AT THE CIRCUS!

    Visit us About us Exhibitions Collection Support us Museum Shop Se Current exhibitions Future exhibitions Recent exhibitions Ringmaster: Judy Onofrio and the Art of the Circus April 19 to June 29, 2008 | Brittingham Galleries VI The Chazen Museum of Art is pleased to announce two spectacular circus- themed exhibitions: Ringmaster: Judy Onofrio and the Art of the Circus in Brittingham Galleries VI and VII, and Harry A. Atwell, Circus Photographer, in the Mayer Gallery. Both exhibitions will be on view April 19–June 29, 2008. The Chazen will also host a special weekend of circus celebrations, featuring performers, music, and food, on May 9 and 10. Information about these events and other exhibition-related programming follow. Exhibitions Ringmaster: Judy Onofrio and the Art of the Circus. Judy Onofrio’s life-sized sculptures of extraordinary performers, animals, and circus acts will be exhibited alongside examples of banners, posters, and carvings—drawn from the Circus World Museum collection—that have inspired her work. Onofrio’s glittering constructions are carved, molded, painted, and assembled from wood, fiberglass, beads, ceramic shards, and collected objects. With Onofrio as ringmaster, these materials take form as contortionists, acrobats, and magicians of yesteryear who once again twist, soar, and cast spells for audiences. In addition, a documentary of the 1920s and 30s Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and a filmed interview with artist Judy Onofrio will be available in the Ringmaster exhibition. Harry A. Atwell, Circus Photographer. Forty-two black-and-white photographs by Harry A. Atwell (1879–1957) survey his significant career photographing the golden age of America’s tented shows.

  • A Theological Reading of the Gideon-Abimelech Narrative
    YAHWEH vERsus BAALISM A THEOLOGICAL READING OF THE GIDEON-ABIMELECH NARRATIVE WOLFGANG BLUEDORN A thesis submitted to Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities April 1999 ABSTRACT This study attemptsto describethe contribution of the Abimelech narrative for the theologyof Judges.It is claimedthat the Gideonnarrative and the Abimelechnarrative need to be viewed as one narrative that focuseson the demonstrationof YHWH'S superiority over Baalism, and that the deliverance from the Midianites in the Gideon narrative, Abimelech's kingship, and the theme of retribution in the Abimelech narrative serve as the tangible matter by which the abstracttheological theme becomesnarratable. The introduction to the Gideon narrative, which focuses on Israel's idolatry in a previously unparalleled way in Judges,anticipates a theological narrative to demonstrate that YHWH is god. YHwH's prophet defines the general theological background and theme for the narrative by accusing Israel of having abandonedYHwH despite his deeds in their history and having worshipped foreign gods instead. YHWH calls Gideon to demolish the idolatrous objects of Baalism in response, so that Baalism becomes an example of any idolatrous cult. Joash as the representativeof Baalism specifies the defined theme by proposing that whichever god demonstrateshis divine power shall be recognised as god. The following episodesof the battle against the Midianites contrast Gideon's inadequateresources with his selfish attempt to be honoured for the victory, assignthe victory to YHWH,who remains in control and who thus demonstrateshis divine power, and show that Baal is not presentin the narrative.

Looking back on last year gets me lost with everything we accomplished. We produced two successful shows, Jubilee and ParaSoul, and offered amazing summer camps and intensives. We also had to say goodbye to some of our preparatory students as they continue their circus journey, but we also welcomed new students, new talents and new prospects. Moving into 2019 is a big step, with our plans for this year, but with the continued community support we feel that SDCC will continue to thrive and push the bar. We are excited to announce our relationship with Cirque du Soleil and their support to assist us in furthering our circus artistry. This summer will be the start of that relationship! All of our success could not happen without the community, students, support staff and teachers. Thank you for your continued trust and forward thinking. ONWARD!

  • Cirque Mechanics Study Guide
    Prepared by Aida Lashua & Skye Strauss - INTRODUCTION - 42ft is inspired by the mid-1930’s circus “big top,” including the “period” costumes and the music. It takes us backstage and allows the audience to witness “a day in the life of a 1930’s circus performer.” THIS GUIDE HAS THREE DISCUSSION SECTIONS • CIRCUS HISTORY & PRODUCTION INSPIRATION • A brief introduction to historical circus will help students understand circus life and customs as they appear in the production. They will also learn how circus turns of phrase have become familiar idioms. • This section also introduces artists that inspired the creators of 42ft from across media platforms. These include LIFE Magazine’s photographs of the 1930’s, Charlie Chaplin’s films, and Sarah Gruen’s novel Water for Elephants. • HISTORY AND SOCIAL STUDIES: THE GREAT DEPRESSION • The time period for this show coincides with The Great Depression, framing circus as an important form of popular entertainment and contextualizing it in a wider conversation about arts funding through the WPA. • THE SCIENCE OF CIRCUS: NEWTONS LAWS & SIMPLE MACHINES • For the acrobats, performing extraordinary feats requires an understanding of basic principles of physics including inertia, momentum, and centrifugal force. The contraptions in the show are based on simple machines that rely on the same principles to help the acrobats fight against gravity. - GUIDE 1 OF 3 - CIRCUS HISTORY AND PRODUCTION INSPIRATION - CIRCUS HISTORY - The Circus Ring: One of the most popular misconceptions is that circus dates back to Roman antiquity. But the Roman circus was actually the precursor of the modern racetrack; there are only a few common denominators between Roman and modern circuses.
