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 Bjoerfors
(Cirkus Cirkoer), Kim 'Busty Beatz' Bowers (Hot Brown Honey), Shana
Carroll (The 7 Fingers), David Clarkson (Stalker), Philippe
Decoufle (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 Menard (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).
