Japanese Mechanical Circus

2011 Summer Program

The Japanese have long valued clever mechanisms. Their word Karikuri can mean both a movement and trick. They built Karakuri theater, festival floats, and toys. Study traditional Japanese movements and then construct the acrobats, the animal trainers, the aerialists, the jugglers and the clowns of a circus of surprises. The Karikuri will be Japanese. The style, collection and performance of your circus will be all yours.
