Description

This comprehensive study examines the defining characteristics of contemporary circus and its relationship to theatre, dance, and performance art. Using a cultural-semiotic approach, the book analyses contemporary circus performances to uncover generalizable characteristics that unite diverse artistic expressions. It explores hybrid forms, identifies observable commonalities across performances, and investigates how these insights apply to dramaturgical practice. Ideal for theatre scholars, performance analysts, and circus practitioners, this work provides the first detailed documentation and interpretation of contemporary circus as a distinct art form, offering essential frameworks for understanding how modern circus differs from traditional performance disciplines and where innovative cross-disciplinary techniques emerge.
