GOLOVCHENKO, Natalie
The subject of my work is Russian circus, its history, development and the present. The most important representatives of Russian circus, who significantly contributed to its development, are described in this thesis. The aim of this work is to take a look at the history of the Russian circus arts and to approach this topic to readers. The beginning of this work is dedicated to the creation of the circus, the very basics of this art direction. In the next sections I describe the main stages of evolution of the Russian circus, different cultures that influenced its development, various interesting influential circus personalities as well as the origin of the first circus school. However, it was necessary to mention the problems which Russian circus faces nowadays. Unfortunately there are a lot of them. We'll also find a brief description of the five most famous stone circuses in Russia. The final part of my work is dedicated to the most famous Russian circus dynasties and the world famous Russian clowns. The supplements include photos matching themes of the thesis.
