ALBANY – Clowns from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey will present a special “Science of the Circus” performance at the New York State Museum at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11.

The Ringling Bros. performers continue to astound audiences with acts that require skills of timing, agility and courage. Many of the laws and principles of physics – including balance, gravity and momentum – come to life through these performers.

Science of the Circus helps kids of all ages to become more familiar with these science concepts as brought to life through Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s performers.

The program is free and the public is invited.
