Seventeen years later, in 1993, on an October evening, I was sitting comfortably at home flipping through the television channels and I heard the local news anchor say, “Did you ever dream of running away with the circus? Well, now you don’t have to run away. Right after our commercial break we will take you on a visit to the first school where any more-or-less  average person can learn the flying trapeze.” Immediately, he had my undivided attention. The five-minute segment that followed reported that Stephan Gaudreau, a trapeze artist who had recently been perfoming at Circus-Circus in Reno, with the Flying Angels, had established a training program open to the public at the San Francisco School of Circus Arts. The next Wednesday I went to the old gymnasium that housed the circus school to observe the beginners class and satisfy my curiosity.
