Rescue edit

I've tagged for rescue and working to add some content. Not sure if it can (or should be) saved, but thinking it might can be. Little tricky to source since the term is used outside of this definition more than within. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

"Extreme Circus Show" might be more notable. Just a thought. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:05, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

It clearly list various traditional circus acts in the articles, listing "fire-dancing" and a "synchronized trapeze act" among others. So I listed those two examples. Keep the old, but add in new stunts, and playing music for each act that is appropriate, there quite a lot written about the music. Dream Focus 16:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

No. Both sources clearly distinguish between "traditional circus" acts and the extreme circus acts: "A torch is being passed, albeit reluctantly, and the theatrical device re-creates the early clash between a group of Quebec street performers and the rigid structure of the traditional circus." "And they're completely sick of the traditional big top stuff. Our style has come from the street - we do the stunts like you see the kids down at the skate park, you go for everything every time." Neither mention "fire-dancing" and a "synchronized trapeze act" in connection with traditional circus. Your claim is pure WP:Synthesis. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 16:32, 2 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
