Circus Magazine?

If you wanna inquire about something you don't know much about, who do
you ask first? Your friends, or someone in the know? (Assuming there's
no obvious overlap.) Yes. So here we go:

My daughter is getting into circus arts quite heavily. We want to give
her a subscription to a circus magazine for her upcoming birthday. The
magazine should focus on the performing aspects (techniques, tips,
reviews, etc.) and also mention circus schools, camps, workshops etc.
I've looked at 'Kaskade' (http://www.kaskade.de) and at 'Spectacle
Magazine' (http://www.spectaclemagazine.com). Of these, Kaskade seems to
come closest to what I want. Are there any others worth looking at?

Thanks,
Klaas Bil

OK, not many circus friends here. I should have known.

i've only seen a couple of issues of kaskade that a friend, currently in
london, sent over
so, i'm afraid i can't express an opinion based on comparisons
kaskade strikes me as a pretty solid publication

u may want to check out 'this'
(http://www.the-forum.com/ephemera/circmag.htm) , 'this'
(http://tinyurl.com/ytba5) and 'especially this'
(http://www.spectaclemagazine.com/) might be worth a look

I used to subscribe to Circus magazine in the 80's and early 90's.

Although...it was a Glam Rock/Heavy Metal magazine

Sofa- Must admit former favourite bands we

Ratt
WASP
Motley Crue
Poison
Skid Row
G'n'R

Sometimes while working on the computer with radio@netscape playing,
I'll throw it on the 'hair metal station' and ask myself what I was
thinking back then.

There's the Circus Report, which may not be too useful as it's
USA-based:
http://www.lionden.com/circus_report.htm

It apparently comes out every two weeks. I haven't seen it in many
years, but back then it was more of a newsletter, focusing on the
business. It had ads for acts looking for venues, and promoters looking
for acts. And lots of reviews of shows!

Thanks GILD! That last one I had found already, the website is not
very informative about what's in the magazine. Seems less interesting
than Kaskade. The other two are not as interesting for performers (I
think).

let us know what u decide
Waiting for unicycleboy's further reply but leaning towards Kaskade
now.

which arts are she particularly interested in?
Acrobatics first and foremost. Trapeze second I think, currently only
static trapeze. Juggling may be third, but then mainly because she has
to - from the youth circus (by the name of "Rotjeknor") she is at.

We have a similar thing for the Netherlands at
http://members.home.nl/cnb/CircusNieuwsBrief.html. That too is not
too useful for someone who would like to be a performer rather than a
spectator.
