	Circus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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
		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.

	The Big Interview: Mike Finch \| London Theatre Guide
		For the last 25 years, Circus Oz have been carrying (and, if the start of their show is anything to go by, probably burning) the flag for contemporary circus in Australia.
		Circus is one of the last art forms where the performers themselves are controlling the artform and exactly what the audience gets.
		Such humanitarian performances, the cultural range of Circus Oz’s members and the satirical barbs which litter their show all underline the company’s ongoing commitment to matters of social justice “I think it was there from the beginning, in 1978 the original founding members – were a group of late-70s activist performers.

		Circus Oz is into its 28th year, but the troupe still manage to look like a group of miscreant punks and grungers who met at a party one night and decided to pool their talents.
		None of the performers has succumbed to the airbrushed glamour endemic to the "new" circus genre (strongwoman Aunty Fanny Toughlove flaunts her big thighs with pride and Happy the Clown looks as if he sleeps on the street).
		When Boy Scout Matthew is catapulted out of a "humanitarian cannon" it's part of a satirical routine in which he's trying to win a "world peace badge" and has to vault over a large group of people (the "coalition of the willing") as well as a perilous stretch of razor wire.
