the bit before the bbc news

[pj]

you know that lead up, when there's people dangling from red cloth and sometimes they roll themselves back up the cloth. i think it was also done for the opening of the millenium dome.

Anyone know what that's called, the act itself? Is it a circus thing or just a performing art of some kind. Also, what's the name of the cloth they use?

Thanks,

Pj

Going to be funny when the BBC news reports on a man having to be rescued by the fire brigade after attempting to copy their programme ident.

No, I'm not going to do anything sily. it's for a writing project, but i don't know what that kind of performance/act is called.
