Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

OTHER HIGH ACTS AND UNUSUAL RIGGINGS

THE APOLLOS This was a fairly common type of High Act rigging, a single pole or ladder with rigging on either side, & one or more short Swaypoles on top.

BRUCE ANDERSON


THE BARRETTS I wish I had a view from a little further back to show more of this rigging, as I remember it was a two people act.



THE CONNELEYS This is a very unusual combination, on top seems to be a loop the loop, but a single pole rather than the usual frame. The two hoops remind me of a later act done by Cimse's daughters called "The Sils Sisters".
