Circus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1695 words) |
 | A circus is held in a oval or circular arena with tiered seating around its circumference; in the case of traveling circuses this location is most often a large tent. |
| The circus is thought to have had its origin in Ancient Rome, where the circus was an open-air stadium where chariot and horse races and other public exhibitions where held. |
| A fourth, Circus Maxentius, was constructed by Maxentius; the ruins of this circus have enabled archaeologists to reconstruct the Roman circus. |
| Circus Oz (705 words) |
| Circus Oz Circus Oz Where there's smoke there's fire, and in June/July 2000, the Melbourne Town Hall was ablaze with the return home of Circus Oz, since their departure in January for non-stop touring around the world. |
| Wherever Circus Oz tours internationally, it is the Australian aspects of the show that are noticed, from didgeridoo playing, to the performers ability to turn things on their head and send themselves up in a particularly laconic and larrikin way. |
| Although Circus Oz has covered a lot of ground with international markets, the majority of their touring in the past 22 years has been within Australia, playing not only to capital cities and major regional areas, but extending their tours to include remote communities, including those in Arnhem Land. |
