Do you know who works in the circus?

When we find out who works in the circus,it turns out that this is not so much a pleasure institution, as an extensive economic complex. For example, the world-famous Circus du Soleil has a troupe of four thousand people, which allows the institution to give performances in several cities around the world at the same time.

In addition to people directly entering the arena,in this circus there are own seamstresses, who, for example, have prepared special costumes for the gymnasts for the show "Mystery", sewing about 2000 pieces for each. For a year circus tinkers use about twenty kilometers of various fabrics to dress all the artists. And the shoe shop of the circus sews about 5000 pairs of shoes annually.

Who works in the Circus du Soleil yet? Of course, there are their own designers, composers, arrangers, artists, musicians. To create films and shows there are directors, operators. And no representation can do without a wide range of workers, movers, electricians, drivers and cleaners. Since professionals from forty countries work in the circus, the institution has recruited a whole staff of trainers, theater teachers, doctors and masseurs of various specializations to maintain the level of their qualifications.

In addition to people, animals often go out into the arena,which, of course, are also circus performers. In the Moscow Circus named after Nikulin on the show you can see the numbers with dogs, horses, monkeys, Bengal and Ussuri tigers. Of course, every animal has a trainer, a veterinarian, and also one who equips the place of their residence and feeds. If the company includes large animals like sea lions (weigh up to one and a half tons, eat up to one hundred and thirty kilograms of fish per day), then the serving staff can be more than extensive.

New business conditions suggestappearance of new specialties. Who works in the circus today, but who was not in it, for example, fifteen to twenty years ago? In the domestic institutions for the last decades there were specialists in public relations, promoters, marketers studying the tastes of spectators. In addition, with the development of computer technology in the states of circuses around the world, system administrators, web designers and programmers have firmly established themselves.
