Themed Circus'

Over the years the perspective on circus' have changed. Through the 1800's circus' traditionally consisted of an animal trainer, trapeze artists, fire breathers, type-rope walkers and a ringleader. Usually located in a large striped tent.

The cliché has changed over time due to the urbanisation of circus traditions. No longer do they have fake looking weight lifters or bearded women but talented contortionists and trapeze artists that will amaze the audiences with their amazing skills. New circus themes that are trending include Steampunk, Gothic, Urban and Traditional.

Different Types of Circus'

You may have this vision of red and white tents and lions jumping through hoops in mind but that is just one type of circus, for example let me introduce you to Circus Solarus. They work at street events and festivals promoting sustainability to the new generation of kids, they explore fun and interesting ways to convey a message.
They can often be found dressing up in crazy costumes made out of recycled materials from places such as Reverse Garbage. As you can see they are the fashion icons of the future.
