[Circus performances]
According to circus researcher Paul Bouissac, the basics of the circus consist of acrobatics, clowning, and trained animal acts, with music and lighting effects. "Circus acts are not a free succession of happenings, but a carefully planned set of routine actions performed according to a pattern." Researcher Hippisley Cox also classifies circus performances as follows: overture, grand parade, horseback acrobatics, strongmen, animal acts, equestrianism, adventures, break, caged wild animals, trapeze, horse dancing, magic tricks, acrobats, clown entrance, and finale. The appeal of the circus is the speed at which a variety of acts, including surprises, thrills, and laughter, unfold one after the other.
