The highlights include motorcyclists (the Torres Family) zipping around inside a small metal globe, veering inches away from one another, and an incredibly daring group of acrobats performing feats standing on top of horses racing in circles at up to 25 miles per hour.

As documented by former Paris Review editor Daniel Kunitz in his recent book Lift: Fitness Culture, from Naked Greeks and Acrobats to Jazzercise and Ninja Warriors, excellence at exercise has become a goal pursued by a much broader segment of the general population than ever before.

To top off the evening at what is just one of the multibillionaire's many homes, Gwen Stefani sang "Happy Birthday to You" before taking a quick twirl with the birthday boy around a dance floor constructed inside a two-story tent where acrobats shimmied and jumped.

The first-act finale, the filming of a sequence for AJ's magnum opus, focusing on Calamity Jane (although it's really more "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"), features acrobats flying up to the proscenium, twirling in the air as they trade turns jumping from a large seesaw — technically called a teeterboard.

Plus, even though it's initially difficult to get your bearings when you're floating free and able to do some crazy acrobats thanks to positional jets on your virtual space suit, I imagine real-life astronauts also have to power through some queasiness in order to experience the wonder and beauty of space.

Disney has shipped a bunch of ambitious projects lately, like their robotic acrobats, a series of autonomous robots to add life to queues and attractions and a variety of different applications of AR. Here's some more info on Snoddy via Disney: Jon Snoddy has lived on the leading edge of entertainment technology his entire career.

Each time, he dressed up his dresses, and his see-now/buy-now collaboration with the model Gigi Hadid, with evermore elaborate experiential accessories: a South Street Seaport carnival, complete with rides and lobster rolls; a Venice Beach party, with fire-eaters and food trucks; a Roundhouse rock circus, with acrobats and a concert.

While I was on my way to see his current exhibition, Trevor Winkfield – Saints, Dancers and Acrobats, at Tibor de Nagy Gallery (February 17 – March 25, 2018), I began to wonder — as someone who has followed his work since the late 1970s, and who has read many of the things written on his work, as well as much of his own writing — if I could add anything to what has already been said.

Written two years after Pollock's death — and, not coincidentally, it would seem, two years after completing the paintings included in this show (and one year before "21956 Happenings in 21 Parts") — Kaprow's text famously spotlighted the performative aspect of Pollock's painting process: I am convinced that to grasp […] Pollock's impact properly, we must be acrobats, constantly shuttling between an identification with the hands and body that flung the paint and stood "in" the canvas and submission to the objective markings, allowing them to entangle and assault us.

But I have also cried at the circus when acrobats did something so impressive that I was pretty sure they might be about to die, which is not something that I think should be that emotional; at superhero movies when the music crescendoes during the final battle, which is really just manipulative on the movie's part; and during A Star Is Born when Lady Gaga takes the stage and does that "HA-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhhhh," which I will allow she is very good at but which is a disconcerting thing to cry at because I truly did not care for A Star Is Born.
