Circus Skills

Circus SkillsCircus skills are a group of pursuits that were traditionally used as a form of entertainment in circus, sideshow, busking or variety, vaudeville, music hall shows. While most circus skills are still being performed today, many are practiced by non-performers as a hobby. Many pedagogies or classification systems exist for circus skills. Virtually every circus school in the world - and to a lesser extent every circus arts teacher in the world - has, over time, developed their own pedagogies for teaching circus arts. While most of these pedagogies evolved to fit the needs, strengths and teaching styles of the individual school or teacher, some pedagogies evolved from more pragmatic approaches, with categories being based more on objectively defined criteria, and less on how the individual school or teacher approaches the teaching of the skills.

Acrobatics

Acrobatics (from Greek Akros, high and bat, walking) is one of the performing arts, and is also practiced as a sport. Acrobatics involves difficult feats of balance, agility and coordination. Nearly any performance or sport which involves full-body activity especially in short, highly controlled bursts of activity-can be considered acrobatics, substantial overlap with dance, various sports such as diving and even religious practices.

Adagio

Adagio is the name given to a specific set of partner acrobalance or acrobalance movements. Adagio originated in Eastern Europe, and is the most commonly taught of the circus acrobalance arts. Adagio involves transitions between various stationary balances. They involve one flier and one base. The base remains in contact with the ground and the flier is balanced in the air. The base may move between a variety of positions including lying on the ground, crouching, standing and kneeling. The flier may be balanced on the base's feet, hands, shoulders, knees, thighs, back or a variety of these. The flier can in turn be balanced on a variety of their body parts and in a variety of positions and orientations. The flier can be balanced horizontally or vertically or even upside down. It is easier for the flier to be lighter and the base heavier and stronger. This is not a necessity though as equal weights or even an imbalance of weights in the other direction can be used. This form of acrobalance can form a crowd-pleasing part of circus performances or be a hobby. As a hobby it is practised in university circus groups.
 

Artistic Cycling

Artistic cycling is a form of competitive indoor cycling in which athletes perform tricks (called exercises) for points on specialized, fixed-gear bikes in a format similar to ballet or gymnastics. The exercises are performed before judges in six minute rounds by singles, pairs, four- or six-man teams.

Balancing

Equilibrioception or sense of balance is one of the physiological senses. It allows humans and animals to walk without falling. Some animals are better in this than humans, for example allowing a cat (as a quadruped using its inner ear and tail) to walk on a thin fence. All forms of equilibrioception can be described as the detection of acceleration.

Clown

Clowns are comic performers, stereotypically characterized by their colored wigs, stylistic makeup, outlandish costumes, and unusually large footwear. Clowning, in its most basic form, can be described as one form of drama without a fourth wall, however there are other types of drama that are lacking the element of a fourth wall as well. In other words, a clown acknowledges his audience. The clown's humor today is often visual and includes many elements of physical comedy or slapstick humor.

Contact Juggling 

Contact juggling is a form of object manipulation that focuses on the movement of objects such as balls in permanent contact with the body. Having little in common with "toss" juggling, it most typically involves the rolling of one or more completely transparent balls on the hands and arms to create visual illusions, such as that of a ball fixed in space.
