Kate Holmes is an interdisciplinary independent researcher and expert in aerial performance practice and circus history. She uses a variety of approaches to consider circus as a historically situated cultural phenomenon that appealed to audiences because of the sensational experiences it promised. Kate's research has considered how world events influenced circus performers' careers and explored how audience experience was guided by promotional practices and differences in early twentieth century North American and British circus spaces.
