Contemporary circus

Lavers, Katie ; Leroux, Louis Patrick ; Burtt, Jon
New York : Routledge, 2019

In this volume, twenty-four creators come together with three scholars to discuss Contemporary Circus, bridging the divide between practice and theory.

Lavers, Leroux, and Burtt offer conversations across four key themes: Apparatus, Politics, Performers, and New Work. Extensively illustrated with fifty photos of Contemporary Circus productions, and extensively annotated, Contemporary Circus thematically groups and contextualises extracts of conversations to provide a sophisticated and wide-ranging study supported by critical theory.

Of interest to both practitioners and scholars, Contemporary Circus uses the lens of ‘contestation,’ or calling things into question, to provide a portal into ways of seeing today’s circus performance.

Conversations with: Lachlan Binns and Jascha Boyce (Gravity and Other Myths), Tilde Björfors (Cirkus Cirkör), Kim ‘Busty Beatz’ Bowers (Hot Brown Honey), Shana Carroll (The 7 Fingers), David Clarkson (Stalker), Philippe Decouflé (Compagnie DCA), Fez Faanana (Briefs), Mike Finch (Circus Oz), Daniele Finzi Pasca (Compagnia Finzi Pasca), Sean Gandini (Gandini Juggling), Firenza Guidi (ElanFrantoio, NoFit State Circus), Jo Lancaster and Simon Yates (Acrobat), Johann Le Guillerm (Cirque Ici), Yaron Lifschitz (Circa), Chelsea McGuffin (Company 2), Phia Ménard (Compagnie Non Nova), Jennifer Miller (Circus Amok), Adrien Mondot (Compagnie Adrien M and Claire B), Charlotte Mooney and Tina Koch (Ockham’s Razor), Philippe Petit (high wire artist), and Elizabeth Streb (STREB EXTREME ACTION).

Unreal Limbs: Erin Ball and the Extended Body in Contemporary Circus

Lavers, Katie ; Burtt, Jon ; Ball, Erin

Innovative prostheses are generating new possibilities for artists, performers and athletes with adaptive bodies. Performers, such as Aimee Mullins working with Alexander McQueen and Matthew Barney, and Viktoria Modesta working with Sophie de Oliveira Barata of The Alternative Limb Project, are leading the way in exploring an emerging terrain of unreal prosthetic limbs. This chapter compares this world of surreal prosthetic limbs to the drawing game ‘Exquisite Corpse’ invented in Paris in 1925 by the Surrealist artists André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Yves Tanguy and Jacques Prévert, in the way they both raise powerful questions as to the boundaries of the human body and the interrelationship between the corporeal and the non-corporeal. In 2014 Erin Ball, the Canadian Contemporary Circus artist, after suffering severe frostbite, had both of her lower legs amputated. This chapter follows her in her determination to re-imagineer her adaptive body and to explore the world of surreal prosthetic limbs in Contemporary Circus performance. The writing also explores the emerging collaboration between Erin Ball and Kristina Walsh, a Canadian prosthetics designer, currently Artist in Residence at the Sarabande Studios which are run by the Alexander McQueen Foundation in London.

Cirqiniq : the decolonising of social circus in Nunavik

Lavers, Katie ; Burtt, Jon ; Bochud, Emmanuel
Theatre, Dance and Performance Training, vol.13 n°2, p. 180-195, 2022

This writing sets out to explore the Social Circus program in Nunavik in the Arctic in Far North Canada which in various forms has now been running for nearly twenty years. The initial program begun by Cirque du Soleil in 2002 had little uptake by the Inuit. There was a lack of community support and very sporadic attendance by the Inuit young people and after five years it was discontinued. The Social Circus program now known as Cirqiniq developed out of this initial program. Its success can be gauged by the fact that every year young Inuit vote in a poll as to whether it should continue or not. The program now has the support to ensure it continues each year. This article asks questions about what it was that changed in order to cause this turnabout? What was it that changed to cause the involvement of young Inuit and Inuit communities? Did the approaches to training change? Did structural changes occur? The authors, two of whom have worked with Cirqiniq, set out to answer these questions. A series of interviews undertaken with Inuit and Qallunaat (non-Inuit) involved in the program, along with research undertaken in response to these interviews, revealed a process of structural and cultural decolonisation of the Social Circus program which the authors point to as the key component in the program’s current success.

Briefs and hot brown honey : alternative bodies in contemporary circus

Lavers, Katie ; Burtt, Jon
M/C Journal vol. 20 n°1, 4 p., March 2017

Briefs and Hot Brown Honey are two Brisbane based companies producing genre-bending work combining different mixes of circus, burlesque, hiphop, dance, boylesque, performance art, rap and drag. The two companies produce provocative performance that is entertaining and draws critical acclaim.

However, what is particularly distinctive about these two companies is that they are both founded and directed by performers from Samoan cultural backgrounds who have leap-frogged over the normative whiteness of much contemporary Australian performance. Both companies have a radical political agenda. This essay argues that through the presentation of diverse alternative bodies, not only through the performing bodies presented on stage but also in the corporate bodies of the companies they have set up, they profoundly challenge the structure of the Australian performance industry and contribute a radical re-envisaging of the potential of circus to act as a vital political force.

BLAKflip and beyond : Aboriginal performers and contemporary circus in Australia

Lavers, Katie ; Burtt, Jon
New Theatre Quarterly vol.33 n°4, p.307-319, 2017

In this article Katie Lavers and Jon Burtt investigate BLAKflip and Beyond, a programme of workshops set up by the Australian circus company Circus Oz to mentor and support young Aboriginal performers by providing training and pathways into professional circus. Their analysis is contextualized through an examination of the thirty-year history of Circus Oz, most significantly its roots in the progressive and radical politics of the 1970s. The history of notable and successful Aboriginal performers in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Australian circus is also examined, questioning why, given the relative success of Aboriginal circus performers in the recent past, there are almost none working today. Whiteness as a pervasive characteristic of contemporary Australian performance is offered as a possible cause of this absence, while hopes for the future of Aboriginal circus are discussed with Davey Thompson, the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Programme Manager at Circus Oz. Katie Lavers is an adjunct faculty member at Edith Cowan University, author of numerous journal articles, and co-editor (with Peta Tait) of The Routledge Circus Studies Reader (2016). Jon Burtt is a lecturer in Dance and Performance Studies at Macquarie University. He is the author of numerous articles on circus pedagogy, and is an advanced-level circus trainer. Lavers and Burtt are currently co-authoring (with Louis Patrick Leroux) a book on contemporary circus (forthcoming 2019). [editor summary]

Re-imagining the development of circus artists for the twenty-first century

Burtt, Jon ; Lavers, Katie
Theatre, Dance and Performance Training vol.8 n°2, p.143-155, 2017

Circus performances now take numerous, diverse forms and these demand a new kind of circus performer, one who is adaptable, self-motivated and creatively innovative. The article argues that much current circus training is out of sync with the new requirements of this evolving industry. It re-imagines the development of elite circus artists, proposing an approach to training performers so that they are not only able to perform their ‘acts’ at the highest technical and artistic level, but are also able to function well as self-motivated, self-regulated, multi-disciplinary artists who are creatively innovative. The article outlines ‘Integrated Training’, an innovative approach to training physical skills developed by Jon Burtt, in which a focus is proposed which includes, alongside the development of high-level physical skills, attention to the development and training of cognitive skills such as self-efficacy and self-regulation, and the constructing of learning and teaching environments that effectively enhance creativity. The article proposes that Integrated Training has the potential to provide an effective basis for the development of the new kinds of artists currently required for the circus arts industry.

Social circus in the arctic : cultivating resilience

Lavers, Katie ; Burtt, Jon
Journal of Arts & Communities, vol. 7 n° 3, p. 125-139, 2015

Between 2010 and 2013, social circus instructor Jon Burtt worked on a number of social circus projects in the Arctic and the sub-Arctic in the far north of Quebec in Nunavik, a semi-autonomous region with Inuit communities dotted around the Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay coasts. In this interview, writer and circus director Katie Lavers talks to him about his experiences there, about the programme he was involved in, the Inuit youth involved and their communities, and the effect of the work on him personally.

L’introduction de l’entraînement à la prise de décision dans la formation supérieure en arts du cirque et ses effets sur les stratégies l’enseignement et sur l’apprentissage et sur la performance

Lafortune, Sylvain ; Burtt, Jon ; Aubertin, Patrice
Montréal : École nationale de cirque, 2013

Cette recherche-action avait pour objectif de tester l'introduction d'une approche de l'entraînement provenant de la pratique sportive, l’entraînement à la prise de décision, dans la formation supérieure en arts du cirque. À travers l'identification d'habiletés cognitives importantes à développer et l'utilisation d'outils pédagogiques favorisant leur acquisition, l’entraînement à la prise de décision développe l'autorégulation chez l'étudiant, une compétence jugée importante pour un artiste de cirque professionnel. En adoptant cette approche, trois enseignants de l’École nationale de cirque (ÉNC) ont chacun enseigné un étudiant dans leur discipline de spécialité pendant une année scolaire. L'analyse des données provenant d'observations, d'entrevues et de groupes de discussion a d'abord permis de constater que chaque rencontre enseignant/étudiant est unique et nécessite de la souplesse dans l'application d'une méthode d'enseignement. Ensuite, il apparaît qu'un enseignant expert qui abandonne ses pratiques habituelles pour en explorer de nouvelles a besoin d'une période d'ajustement qui peut s'avérer difficile. D'une part, il peut se sentir moins assuré et efficace dans ses interventions, ce qui sera perçu par l'étudiant. D'autre part, il peut sentir que la progression de son étudiant ne satisfait pas les attentes, une situation aggravée dans cette recherche par l'utilisation d'une méthode réputée pour donner des résultats à long terme. Par ailleurs, même si tous les enseignants ont affirmé avoir éventuellement atteint leurs objectifs pédagogiques, le succès avec lequel chacun s'est approprié l'approche de l’entraînement à la prise de décision variait selon des facteurs tels que le degré de familiarité de l'enseignant avec les outils proposés, le niveau technique de l'étudiant, les styles d'enseignement et l'apprentissage de chacun, le contexte de l'évaluation de l'étudiant ou l'encadrement reçu de la part des chercheurs. Finalement, les enseignants ont tous apprécié participer à cette recherche qui fut pour eux une occasion de questionner leurs pratiques et d'explorer de nouvelles façons d'enseigner. [ÉNC]
