The circus: art form or entertainment ?
The circus arts, among the most universal of the living arts, have been undergoing phenomenal growth throughout the world for at least fifteen years. They manifest a huge variety of form and content and are not confined within any artistic and cultural boundaries. In spite of this, they are neglected by networks of arts presenters, and the few opportunities that exist are in an embryonic form. Innumerable obstacles still prevent the circus arts from circulating as they should. Is this a matter of prejudice and resistance, or of ignorance? Do the circus arts constitute simple entertainment or a fully-developed art form? The debate is on!
