Introduction to the Contemporary Circus: Studies and Spectacle - Performing Arts Events - StageLync
This year the UK celebrates 250 years of modern circus. But what does circus look like in the 21st Century, and how far has it come?

Katharine Kavanagh is a circus writer and lecturer at the National Centre for Circus Arts in London. Join her for an insight into the life of the art form and the state of the current circus sector, exploring the myths, practices and artists that form the multilayered spectacle of circus up to present day.

Kavanagh's research focuses on integrating critical discourse and research with circus practice. She is the founder of the only English language publication dedicated to circus critique, www.thecircusdiaries.com.
