Cirque du Soleil has a global presence, and troupes such as Cirque Éloize and 7 doigts de la main are state-of-the-art innovators. The National Circus School of Montreal - the only state-funded elite training facility in North America - is an influential leader in artistry and technique. Montreal-based Cirque du Soleil's Cirque du Monde supports arts for social change on many continents and is renowned for its social-circus training and research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCirque Global\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length study of this new variety of circus and its international impact.
