Some of the critique on this article might stem from the issue that we still try to see and define circus as a whole.
I've never heard of anyone commenting on dance as a whole, or theatre as a whole.
The circus of today comes in many forms and genres, but they are not very well defined besides some vague meaning to "traditional circus".
I think this article is very valid for a specific genre of circus, and not so much for others.
Would it be beneficial for circus (oh the irony, commenting on circus as a whole) to become more aware of the distinctions between circus genres/styles? And giving them names?
