Circus: history, aesthetics, practices

The RIRRA21 (EA4209) Research Center team has actively pursued the still largely unexplored field of circus research, hosting and developing original and multidisciplinary research with its program, "Circus: History, Imagery, Practices" created and directed by Pr. Philippe Goudard.

The program invites research specialists from the performing arts, visual arts, music, literature and aesthetics, joined occasionally by specialists from other fields such as social and human science, physical activity science, education, medicine, or cognitive science to explore Circus arts and participate in conferences, seminars, lectures, and publications, making Montpellier 3 a national and international reference for Circus scientific research.
