Through numerous personal interviews with directors, designers, composers and performers, author Ernest Albrecht provides a unique inside view of the journey through which the most innovative and exciting modern circuses are produced, from the director and production team to the performers, and from designing the circus to setting it to music. Case studies of specific productions by the Big Apple Circus, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, and Cirque du Soleil illuminate the artistic give-and-take necessary in such a collaborative process, proving the circus a true art form, one as artistic as theatre or dance. A variety of performers such as animal trainers, dancers, and clowns discuss their approach to their individual specialties, and the text concludes with an examination of the world's circuses and schools and their methods for training circus artists. A full photo spread of 30 beautiful photos will help inspire and enlighten artists and fans alike."--Publisher's website 001460182 650_0 $$aCircus. 001460182 650_6 $$aCirque.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0015966 001460182 650_7 $$aCircus.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00861646 001460182 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aAlbrecht, Ernest J., 1937-$$tContemporary circus.$$dLanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, ©2006$$w(OCoLC)607866430 001460182 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aAlbrecht, Ernest J., 1937-$$tContemporary circus.$$dLanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, ©2006$$w(OCoLC)607909246 001460182 85200 $$bsc 001460182 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttps://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0616/2006020841.html 001460182 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1113/2006020841-b.html 001460182 8564_ $$304$$qpdf/application$$uhttp://external.dandelon.com/download/attachments/dandelon/ids/DE006C62390CF192E79DBC1257A360045946E.pdf 001460182 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1460182$$pGLOBAL_SET 001460182 980__ $$aBOOK 001460182 980__ $$aBIB
