Featuring a Big Top circus tent on the National Mall, the “Circus Arts” program will take visitors behind the scenes to explore everything from traditions passed down through generations to many of the new expressions that reflect changing social and cultural mores that have always been a hallmark of circus life, work and artistry. The program will feature intimate workshops, full-scale performances and an interactive Circus School where visitors can meet and learn from master artists from across five major circus disciplines: acrobatics, aerials, clowning, equilibristics (e.g., tightrope walking) and object manipulation (e.g., juggling). Visitors to the Festival can also meet artists and coaches, costume designers, makeup artists, riggers and more. The Festival will be held Thursday, June 29, through Tuesday, July 4, and Thursday, July 6, through Sunday, July 9, on the National Mall between Seventh and 12th streets. Admission is free. Festival hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with evening dance parties at 5:30 p.m. and circus performances at 7 p.m. Daily matinee performances in the Big Top will include “Wonderland,” a vibrant and dramatic circus adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland” performed by Circus Juventas, a youth circus school in St.

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.

  • Janice Aria Was the Second Presenter on the Second Day of the NAIA Conference
    Janice Aria was the second presenter on the second day of the NAIA Conference. She began her presentation knowing she had very interesting and “tough” acts to follow. She had no need to worry ‐ ‐ this dynamic woman had us spellbound; she is a consummate entertainer. Originally from Oakhurst, NJ, Jan began her career with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey in 1972 when she left her last semester at New York University and applied to Ringling Bros. Clown College. Upon graduation, she got a contract with prestigious Ringling Bros. and that was the beginning of a love affair. She told us that it fulfilled a dream ‐‐ to ride up on top of those wonderful elephants. She was especially featured with the elephants and bear acts, but she also had trained dog acts with Golden Retrievers of her breeding. She is, of course, a consummate entertainer who toured worldwide. Aria has close to 40 years in animal training and animal behavior, and in 2005, she was named Director of Animal Stewardship. She directs the elephant‐training program for Ringling, teaches training methods to animal handlers, and is involved in the care of the largest herd of Asian elephants in the Western Hemisphere. All of the animals in the circus are “free contact” as opposed to “barrier contact,” which is generally used for animals in other settings. She stressed that the key to having happy animals is finding what they want to do, and training from there. When the Circus arrives by train at each new town, they have The Animal Walk, which is a parade from the train station to the performance venue.

  • Circus School Announces Special Needs Pilot Program
    buzzonstage.com https://www.buzzonstage.com/chicago/evanston/actors-gymnasium/articles/circus-school-announces-special-needs-pilot-program Circus School Announces Special Needs Pilot Program The Actors Gymnasium is proud to announce a pilot program serving children and adults with disabilities. Initially, the program will offer two classes tailored for: students with Autism aged 10-14 and students with Down Syndrome aged 16 years and older. Additional classes will be added based on community interest. Circus Arts offers a non-competitive, creative recreational opportunity that allows individuals to shine. Taught by certified instructors, classes will provide instruction in a variety of circus disciplines, including aerial arts, tumbling, and dance in a safe and supportive environment. Students will enjoy individualized attention and be coached according to their ability, helping them to develop confidence in a community of their peers. Parents within AG's community saw the growth in confidence that students experienced in private lessons and one off workshops and knew the potential AG's open environment could bring to students with special needs. When they approached Executive Director Virginia Nugent with the idea, she saw it as a perfect opportunity to help another community "Learn to Fly" physically, emotionally, and creatively. The ability to launch a new pilot program is largely due to support from the Noyes Tenants Association and The City of Evanston to get an additional teaching space in the Noyes Cultural Arts Center. This new space opened up a number of new possibilities for the non-profit. Open Houses will be held on September 11 at 6:00 pm for students with Down Syndrome and September 14 at 7:30 pm for students with Autism to introduce parents and students to the space.

  • Mapping Circus and Street Art in Southeast Europe INTRODUCTION
    MAPPING CIRCUS AND STREET ART IN SOUTHEAST EUROPE INTRODUCTION For the circus in the Balkans, it can be said to be a spontaneous growth plant that builds its way through a series of obstacles, side-tracks, and aggravating circumstances. Over the past years of persistent work and action, the plant called the circus has succeeded in roots taking and growing in a tree that is expanding its branches. Through the years, with the development of Cirkobalkana festival, contemporary circus festival that is focused on representing regional circus scene from Balkans, artists, groups and circus organizations started to collaborate more and more. It was obvious that if we are working together, it helps us to develop new ideas and shows, to bring foreign educators in the region, international high-quality shows and also to position contemporary circus and street art in national cultural policies. In 2018 we started the first regional platform, CPuP - Circus on the move and we got the grant from Foundation Kultura nova which gave us the wind in our sails. Through various activities (co-production of performances, residency programs, education and quest performances), program cooperation is developed as well as a greater flow of cultural work in the region. The educational program strengthens the capacity of member organizations; enable professional training of artists and artist’s mobility in the field of regional contemporary art. One of the activities was mapping circus organization in the region to collect more information about organizations, spaces and performers (individuals/companies) that are working in the circus or street performing art in the Balkan Region.
