Description: In this volume twenty - four creators come together with three scholars to discuss Contemporary Circus bridging the divide between practice and theory. Lavers Leroux and Burtt offer conversations across four key themes: Apparatus Politics Performers and New Work. Extensively illustrated with fifty photos of Contemporary Circus productions and extensively annotated Contemporary Circus thematically groups and contextualises extracts of conversations to provide a sophisticated and wide - ranging study supported by critical theory.
