Forget the lion-tamers, sword-swallowers and bearded ladies.
The art of circus has evolved over the years, showcasing feats of strength and creativity and even holding up a mirror to society and culture.
For decades, Antonella Thomas has helped to reshape the circus in Australia, co-founding Rock'n'Roll Circus in the late 80s, then the influential Vulcana Circus in Brisbane in the mid-90s.
After several years at Circus Oz, she now teaches at the National Institute of Circus Arts.
Guest: Antonella Thomas, circus educator and creator, Course Convenor for Circus History and Culture at the National Institute of Circus Arts
