COVID-19: Reopening the National Circus School in Montreal – A Case-Study

Marion Cossin
CIRCUSTALK.NEWS, november 2020
For the National Circus School (ENC), as well as all circus schools around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic represents an exceptional challenge, one for which there are no preconfigured guidelines that can dictate appropriate responses. As Dr. Caroline Quach, a researcher from Quebec, said: ‘’Fighting COVID-19 is like building the plane while you’re flying it’’. This statement certainly applies to circus schools all around the world. At ENC, the decision to reopen the school and the question as to how to reopen the school was guided by a risk-based approach to maximize the education, well-being and health benefits for our students, teachers, staff, and thus, the wider circus community.

CRITAC - Centre de recherche, d'innovation et de transfert en arts du cirque, 19 p., January 2020. 
For the first time, a study on the discipline of straps made it possible to compare and measure several attachment configurations according to several criteria. Nine attachment configurations were measured according to three criteria: safety, comfort and duration of installation. Thanks to this study, any aerial strapping professional will have at his disposal the different possible choices.

Body composition adaptations throughout an elite circus Student-Artist Training Season

Adam Decker, Patrice Aubertin, Dean Kriellaars
Journal of Dance Medicine & Science, vol.25 n°1, p. 46-54, mars 2021
The purpose was to perform a longitudinal assessment of body composition of circus student-artists in an elite three-year college training program. Male and female student-artists differed significantly across all absolute and relative body composition variables. Discipline-specific differences in body composition were also detected. Significant differences were observed between student-artists grouped by years in school. Over the training year there was a positive adaptation for muscle and fat mass despite the negative adaptation experienced over the winter vacation period.

THESIS
Longitudinal assessment of physical, physiological and psychological characteristics of elite circus student-artists

Adam Decker
University of Manitoba, 150 p.,  2020
Circus arts has seen rapid growth over the past thirty years, and artists require a unique combination of technical, physical, and artistic abilities with a performance schedule and culture that is distinct from sport. Yet, the development of elite circus artists continues to rely on sport-based and traditional circus training methods. Research into critical performance and health factors in a circus student-artist context would provide valuable insight for the development of modern circus training and injury prevention strategies. The aim of this manuscript-style dissertation is to characterize physical, physiological, and psychological factors in a high-performance circus training environment. Information from this thesis can be used by circus coaches, artists, and performance science and medicine personnel to guide future research and influence the training methods of circus artists, globally.
