Circus Street Performers

Street performances such as "The Secret Circus" perform on a public platform to entertain large audiences in areas such as farmers markets and festivals. Most street performances follow themes, for example, this duo combines both circus acts and Mission Impossible music to create a interesting environment and engulfs the audience's attention. Circus performers must have something that sets them apart from all over street performers, for example, their style or particular trick.

Street performers don't always have such big audiences or crowd. Some work on a smaller scales such as: card illusionists, mimes, ventriloquists, jugglers and contortionists. 

Small scale acts, such as card illusionists and ventriloquists, rely on the audience to be engulfed by the trick.

Circus Costumes.

Circus costumes have evolved over time with emaculate detail, designers have continued to create magnificent bold costumes that truly identify the role off the performers. Each performer has usually got a costume like outfit that translates through each circus. For example, Ringleaders traditionally wear a red tail-coat jacket with a top hat. Many traditional circus' continue with this tradition on a very literal scale but some circus' like to mix things up a bit and create a similar look but a little bit more creative. There is the traditional clown with the big red nose but these days the class clown is dresses in much more realistic ideas of what clown humour is.
The acrobats usually wear leotards that are skin tight with excellent detain that shines off the bright circus spotlights, these costumes usually relate to the act, for example if the performance is about two frogs that fall in love the costumes will reflect that, they would be different shades of green with a silver reflective surfaces to resemble the frog like simmer.
Costumes designers work very hard to make the costumes beautiful and spectacular as the audience is drawn in by the spectacular performance. The costumes help them engage into the story that the acrobats are portraying. 

Types of Trapeze

There are three main types of trapeze, these include:
Static Trapeze which is a motionless trapeze where the performer displayed their talented tricks with excelance. This is usually performed with slow intense music that allows the audience to watch in awe of the beautiful choreography.
Multiple Trapeze is similar to Static Trapeze except it contains usually three connected trapezes. If there are three trapezes there are usually three performers that work together to create interesting shapes and tricks.

Flying Trapeze is the act of which one or more performers glides through the air catching each other while demonstrating amazing tricks by twisting and turning their bodies in the air with only the knowledge of the thin net beneath them for safety.
These three types are only the beginning, but they are the most common and most performed.
