About the Book

This collection aims to map a diversity of approaches to the artform by creating a 360° view on the circus. The three sections of the book, Aesthetics, Practice, Culture, approach aesthetic developments, issues of artistic practice, and the circus’ role within society. This book consists of a collection of articles from renowned circus researchers, junior researchers, and artists. It also provides the core statements and discussions of the conference UpSideDown—Circus and Space in a graphic recording format. Hence, it allows a clear entry into the field of circus research and emphasizes the diversity of approaches that are well balanced between theoretical and artistic point of views. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of circus studies, emerging disciples of circus and performance.

Review :
''Trapp’s editorial framework brings coherence to the texts featured. Looking ahead, the potential for the continued exploration of new approaches to circus is vast. We must continue to seek out and recognize emerging and different perspectives as valid contributions to our collective knowledge about what circus can be.''
