There are many understandings of the origin to the term “break a leg” The most common origin we found relates to a time when audiences threw money on stage (or rotten food) during the curtain call – the better the performance, the more money tossed to the actor. Actors would have to bend a knee (or break the leg-line) to pick up the tip. Therefore, if one wished someone to ‘break a leg’ they were wishing for a great performance and great tips. What meanings have you heard?
Wishing luck to our CircusSpire members Leah & Frances, as they perform throughout New England with Circus Smirkus for the next two months! Shows open in THIS weekend! www.smirkus.org

The skin-tight one-piece garment, known as a leotard, was invented by the French acrobatic performer & trapeze artist, Jules Leotard. Designed to allow unrestricted movement & display musculature, this garment later made its way from the circus into the ballet studios of Paris.
Commedia dell’Arte (Italian: "the comedy of art") is a form of improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the 16th century. Performances were unscripted, held outside, and used few props.
