Silhouette of a juggler on a tightrope
Sweetie Reetie. The object of Lootie’s affection. When Wooly Mammoths fall in love they fall hard. / Sweetie Reetie is shown here in Dartmouth, up to his usual tricks & causing havoc. / He’s a juggler, works inside a rolling glass bubble for food and beer. Maybe not good husband material, but they’re nuts about each other. Ah love. From “Lootie the Wooly Mammoth”, / Children’s Poem / Copyright BDSparhawk 2007
Juggler
A circus is a traveling company of performers including acrobats, clowns, trained animals, hula hoopers… Common acts include a variety of acrobatics and gymnastics including tightrope walking, trapeze and floor routines, the combination of juggling and gymnastics is called equilibristics and include acts like plate spinning.Clowns are common to most circuses.Daredevil stunt acts and sideshow acts are parts of circus acts, including human cannonball, chapeaugraphy, fire eating, breathing and dancing, knife throwing, magic shows, sword swallowing or strongman. Juggling is a form of object manipulation. The most recognizable form of juggling is toss juggling, where the juggler throws objects through the air. Jugglers often refer to the objects they juggle as props, the most popular being balls, beanbags, rings, clubs, or bouncing balls. Some performers use dangerous objects such as chainsaws, knives and fire torches, although when done by a trained performer using the proper equipment are far less dangerous than they appear. Juggling also includes most prop-based circus skills such as diabolo, devil sticks, poi, cigar box manipulation, fire-dancing, contact juggling, and hat manipulation.

We all juggle every day. It’s just that some days it’s marshmallows and the next it might be chainsaws.
Corde Lisse moves are normally a combination of held postures and drops using ropes normally made from soft cotton about 25-30mm thick. It is closely related to both silks, another aerial circus skill performed on one or two long strips of strong fabric, often in bright colors. It requires great skill and strength. Performers do not have any kind of safety net or safety line, relying on their own strength and ability to prevent a fall. It is also possible for two people to perform on the same rope, although more than two is very rare. These people can either hang off each other, or both be at different heights on the rope itself. The most famous use of aerial Cirque du Soleil also use corde lisse, silks and trapeze in their shows.
