Abstract

The role of the circus in the formation of the socio-cultural environment is determined. The aim of the work is to study the circus art in Russia in a cultural aspect. The subject of the study is the culturological aspect of the development of circus art until 2035; an analysis of two models of circus art: domestic and foreign is presented. The tasks and prospects in this area are outlined, the direction of further creative development of the Russian circus system until 2035 should be the creation of qualitatively new circus programs and performances using the capabilities of related arts (theatre, cinema, stage, etc.) and the use of modern technologies. The novelty of the study lies in the definition of the main trends in the development of circus art, the definition of global and domestic trends, a description of their features. The Russian circus industry is less segmented, unlike the Western one, which is distinguished by world-class high-tech shows, traditional circus troupes, circus performers with individual numbers. In Russia, the second segment is part of the circus system due to its demand among children and families. Recommendations are proposed for improving the circus business and its popularization: popularizing the circus as a form of family leisure, improving the human resources base, providing comprehensive support to the circus sector, etc.
