Resumo: The main purpose of this research is to understand the management
of circuses in Brazil. Interviews and questionnaires were applied to
circus owners and artists, and the data were analyzed using the
content analysis technique. The results show that the organizational
structure and practices of education for circus skills are important for
the preservation of the artistic content of the circus, even when
changes are needed in the organization, despite its traditional or not
traditional singularities. t was found that despite the existing laws and
policies in Brazil, the circus remains 'alive' mainly due to its relatively
simple management by the family groups and the circus artists.
Finally, it is important to shift the center of discussions on
management towards peripheral organizations, such as the circus, in
the creative economy context to make it an effective field of work for
professionals in management and accounting.
