Volume V Number 1 . . . . Review by Irene Gordon. Colourful and well-illustrated, it has a good index, table of contents and glossary. The book describes clowning, juggling, acrobatics, balancing and trapeze acts. It is illustrated with pictures of students at several circus camps and schools, including the National Circus School of Canada.
Much emphasis is put on safety.
Clowns are a fun part of the circus. A white-face clown has a white face and neck. Auguste clowns wear colorful, silly costumes. Character clowns wear everyday clothes. You can create a combination of all three.
