WHAT DOES EQUILIBRIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

equilibrist

Tightrope walking

Tightrope walking is the art of walking along a thin wire or rope, usually at a great height. One or more artists perform in front of an audience. ▪ Tightwire is the art of maintaining balance while walking along a tensioned wire between two points. It can be done either using a balancing tool or "freehand", using only one's body to maintain balance. Typically, tightwire performances will fall into one of two distinct types of acts: dance/movement or object manipulation. It is common for tightwire artists to include a variety of props in their acts, such as clubs or rings, hats or canes in order to help them maintain their balance. Other artists will take props onto the wire in order to enhance the entertainment value. These often include juggling clubs, spinning plates, wheelbarrows with passengers, ladders, pets and children. ▪ Highwire is the same as tight wire but at much greater height. Although there is no official height when tight wire becomes high wire, generally a wire over twenty feet high will be regarded as a high wire act. Traditionally, the difference is in style of performance.
