ACE MAGAZINE: 2019

HIGHLIGHTING SOCIAL CIRCUSES WORLDWIDE & CIRCUS BOOKS!
2019 // ISSUE 1, VOL. 15

Dear Community,

Welcome to the new website format of the ACE Magazine! As always, the magazine is an indispensable source of information and perspectives unique to circus educators — but now in an updated, more accessible form! Readers can share specific articles with colleagues, students, and friends online, making it easier to discuss and draw attention to useful topics. At the same time, content is still a connected and curated collection of articles, released together in thematic issues.

This first issue of 2019 is about the international scope of the social circus movement, featuring two organizations (Cirbana Circus in Cuba and Zip Zap Circus in South Africa) and one regional network (ASCA, the Asian Social Circus Association). These three examples just scratch the surface of the multitude of organizations around the globe doing this amazing work and having real impact! AYCO’s Social Circus Network connects US social circus organizations which offer cost-effective, evidence-based approaches to help people overcome the barriers they face. The social circus movement is everywhere! 

Also featured are recently released books–many written by current ACE professional members! The range of subjects and the variety of approaches and writing styles mirror the diversity of circus arts. We are lucky to have so many in the community currently sharing their knowledge and experiences through publication, for the benefit of both circus educators and the general public.

Enjoy perusing these articles and reviews–we hope they spread the spark of circus connection and education far and wide!

In circus,
Tara Jacob
Interim Executive Director
