I was asked to give a talk with this title to a group of academics (a mixture of staff from universities and theological colleges). At first I thought the title a bit silly, but I eventually came around to the circus metaphor and built it into my talk. I used points such as
- Choose your ringmaster
- Choose your act
- Choose your audience
- Juggling less balls is an easier act
- Plan your act
- Many small acts can be built into a great act
- Face it! Academia is a circus!
- Tune out background noise to focus on your performance
- A circus should be fun but not drive your crazy
