Description

Contemporary Circus brings together twenty-four creators and three scholars to explore this dynamic art form. The book delves into four key themes: Apparatus, Politics, Performers, and New Work, offering a nuanced understanding of contemporary circus through extensive illustrations and annotated conversations. The contributors share their insights on the role of technology in circus production, the politics of performance, and the evolution of circus as an art form. With contributions from artists and scholars alike, this book provides a rich and diverse study of contemporary circus, supported by critical theory and contextualised extracts of conversations. Extensively illustrated with fifty photos of Contemporary Circus productions, this book offers a sophisticated and wide-ranging exploration of this vibrant art form, inviting readers to consider new perspectives on the ways in which circus is performed today.
