Abstract
This article aims to show how the circus arts, understood as creative activity and aesthetic experience, expands the possibilities of “being” of the apprentice. Having a theoretical understanding of the constitution of the subject to be never-ending process, we discussed how the “provisional finishing” offered by the beholder transcends circus character and reaches the subject-apprentice. Through interviews and observations of lessons in the circus ring, we reach information about how the student sets the circus arts and the relationship established with the public, with the circus colleagues and teachers, giving the evidence the mediation of circus arts in its constitution. The survey results point to the circus activity as capable of doing mediation in the constitution of the subject through the eyes of the beholder, which meant offering the apprentice, expanding your chances of being.
