Watch out for flying kids ! : how two circuses, two countries, and nine kids confront conflict and build community

Levinson, Cynthia
Atlanta : Peachtree Publishers, 2015

Explore the world of social circus-a movement that brings kids from different worlds together to perform remarkable acts on a professional level. Levinson follows the participants of two specific circuses that also work together periodically: Circus Harmony, in St. Louis, whose participants are inner-city and suburban kids, and Circus Galilee in Israel, whose participants and Jews and Arabs. As the kids' relationships evolve over time, the members learn how to overcome assumptions, animosity, and obstacles both physical and personal.

Circus Smirkus : 25 years of running home to the circus

Mermin, Rob ; Gurwitt, Rob
Greensboro, Vermont : The Circus Barn, 2012

Circus Smirkus: 25 Years of Running Home to the Circus includes plenty of humor,excitement and even intrigue. Rob Gurwitt have written a book about an enterprise grounded in the belief that we all – adults and kids alike – need a respite from the drumbeat of modern culture, a place where we can breathe freely and our ideals and dreams can flourish. In a world where youthful charm and heart inevitably get commercialized, Smirkus is proof that kids and adults — on both sides of the ring—hunger for the real thing. Circus Smirkus: 25 Years of Running Home to the Circus shows you how Smirkus nurtures it, and why it matters. [editor summary]

Le cirque social du rire aux larmes : espaces de médiation et de reconfiguration identitaires et artistiques aux États-unis et au Brésil

Rodrigues Avrillon, Silva
Lyon : Université Lumière Lyon 2, 2011

Créer un espace de communication à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin, apprendre à travailler et vivre ensemble. Voici quelques leitmotivs qui reviennent régulièrement lorsqu’on engage une discussion avec les acteurs de terrain d’un Cirque social. De manière un peu succincte je dirais que deux raisons m’ont poussée à mener ces recherches. Premièrement, l’envie de comprendre les modalités et le déroulement de ce travail de construction ou de reconstruction du lien social entre enfants et adolescents en situation de risque, particulièrement ceux issus de certaines « minorités visibles » et la « société normalisée ». Deuxièmement, comprendre et plus encore rendre compte de comment une pratique artistique comme celle du cirque, bien souvent considérée archaïque, démodée et marginalisée, peut prétendre avoir les atouts et/ou les outils nécessaires pour venir en aide à ce type de public et d’être capable de les aider à développer leur potentiel, leur auto estime, d’enrichir leur vie, de prévenir des dysfonctionnements, de résoudre des problèmes et provoquer des changements sociaux tant au niveau individuel qu’au niveau collectif. Les terrains choisis pour mener ces enquêtes furent certains pays de l’Amérique du Nord, la France et le Brésil, plus particulièrement l’Etat Rio de Janeiro. En outre, cette étude souhaite, soulever des questions sur ce qui pourrait être considéré comme étant une discordance, à savoir, le fait que le plus souvent les individus bénéficiant des programmes organisés par ces cirques sont, aussi, le plus souvent absents ou minoritaires dans cet univers circassien. En ce sens, je fais référence une fois encore au nombre réduits de Noirs dans cette espace artistique. Comment comprendre cette apparente dissonance entre leurs discours et actions. Comment peuvent évoluer les formes de sociabilités engagées à l’intérieur de ces lieux mais aussi à l’extérieur de ceux-ci ? En définitif, quel rôle jouent ces cirques dits sociaux dans la mesure où leur objectif n’est pas celui de former des artistes de cirque ?

The circus project : applying process work techniques to circus and Theatre Arts with at-risk youth

Cohen, Jenn
Portland, OR : Process Work Institute, 2009

The following essay is intended to accompany my final project in the Process Work Diploma/Master of Arts program; a creative arts venture with both educational and social action components, entitled, “The Circus Project.” The Circus Project, now a registered nonprofit, was designed as an experimental training ground for the creation of an innovative methodology for working with at?risk1 and homeless youth, based on the integration of circus, theatre, and Process Oriented Psychology. The intention of the project was to demonstrate how techniques in Process Oriented Psychology could be applied to circus and theatre arts in various aspects of the creation process within the population of homeless and at?risk teens and young adults. It was hoped that the integration of circus arts and Process Work would empower disadvantaged youth in a variety of ways, while offering an emerging methodology which leaders in the
fields of theatre and circus arts could successfully utilize to create new and invigorating forms of artistic expression. In addition to offering a description of my personal background, the project, and a discussion of its relevancy to Process Work, this essay seeks to assert the significant benefits Process Work is capable of contributing to the crafting of meaningful and skilled art that impowers both the participants and the wider audiences for which they perform.
A project of this magnitude could not be embarked upon without the financial,
organizational, and emotional support of a number of people. While any attempt to publicly acknowledge the myriad of volunteers, collaborators and funders is bound to be incomplete, there are a few key players whom I feel compelled to mention, without whom, The Circus Project would not have blossomed into fruition.

MEMOIRES ET THESES

The effects of a circus of the kids program on the psychosocial functioning of middle school youth

Seay, Amy D.
University of South Alabama, 2004

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the extent to which self-esteem, body image, physical activity, locus of control, and participation in the middle school population are influenced by school programs, specifically the Circus of the Kids program. Middle school participants (N = 157) came from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade of two local parochial schools. A packet of measures and a questionnaire were administered prior to the Circus of the Kids, one month later, and again, three months after, the Circus of the Kids program. The data was analyzed using an Analysis of Variance with repeated measures. The results of the study failed to support the hypothesis that those participants who make up the performers group in the Circus of the Kids would experience increased psycho-social functioning. Future investigations may choose to target high-risk populations in order to better determine program effectiveness.

Smile and style : an ethnographic analysis of ISU's Gamma Phi Circus

Carlson, Sarah
Outstanding Ethnographic Research Projects, 2012

Gamma Phi Circus of Illinois State University is the oldest collegiate circus in the United States, and one of only two still in existence. Founded in 1926 by Clifford “Pop” Horton, a gymnastics instructor, it began as a small group of men performing human pyramids and tumbling at sporting events. By 1931, it was an actively performing college circus troupe. Now, with a rich, 82 year performance history, Gamma Phi has roughly 70 performers and holds highly attended performances every April, in conjunction with a rigorous year-round practice schedule.

I chose to focus my research on Gamma Phi because they represent a strikingly visual and dynamic performance tradition. The performances that members create visually convey certain essential aspects of what it means to be a member of Gamma Phi. Members of the college circus share a set of goals, ethics, and characteristics which both create the culture of which they are a part, and qualify them as members. The information I gathered in collaboration with the members of Gamma Phi focused on the ways in which circus performance is learned and how that process helps Gamma Phi achieve its performance goals.
