Circo Cultural Nelson Brito: um estudo preliminar do circo escola da cidade de São Luís – MA

Abstract

The circus is one of the oldest arts and forms of entertainment and its main characteristic is plurality, as it is capable of adapting to different contexts, times and social groups. After several changes over the years, in addition to the shows, the circus has stabilized itself in one of the current language of teaching through schools. This proposal was already in force in the city of São Luís, the study site of this research, however, it ceased to carry out its activities. Thus, there is a need for an intervention to strengthen the circus culture, as there is an interested audience that does not have an adequate space to carry out their activities and gain recognition. Therefore, the objective is to develop a space for studies and learning about the current circus together with an area dedicated to shows that serve as leisure and culture for the population and encourage socialization with the chosen urban region.
