ADA 143Introduction to Circus Arts1

Course Circus has long had the power to incite marvel, to elicit gasps of wonder, to shout out its own magical place in our imagination, and to inspireboth Wanderlust and belonging: it is, after all, an art that calls for us to run away with it. This course offers a close examination of some of this power. We will come to understand circus more fully as an art, with its own histories, forms, and practices, even as we look carefully and critically at its role as a cultural phenomenon across time and places.
