Circus (sage field)

Circus is a sage field available to bards, providing the skills and diverse entertainment styles associated with physical achievements of amazement, daring, humour and the trained performance of animals. This collection of skills is made to be put on display to a stunned and amused audience.

The field includes the following sage studies:

• Acrobatics (sage study): including gymnastics and aerial acts, a mix of extraordinary human feats of balance, agility and coordination; in some forms the practice of acrobatics shares artistic components with dance.

• Animal Performance (sage study): the display and control of a menagerie of creatures, including large cats, camels, elephants, horses, donkeys, birds, bears, monkeys, cats, dogs and more.

• Clowning (sage study): possessing the classical features of the harlequin and the court jester, the act of inspiring laughter and merriment through foolishness, physical prowess and surprise.

• Daredevil (sage study): the performing of dangerous stunts and tricks to elicit a moment of terror from an audience, followed by relief and stunned respect for the magnificence of the performer’s bravery and skill.
