Unfortunately, the workshop cannot take place.

In this two-day workshop, you will experience what training at a professional circus school is like under professional guidance. A structured training concept in the basics of circus arts and physical theater is taught in a fun and methodical way, combining traditional circus techniques with contemporary circus art and creation.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who is interested in artistry and wants to experiment with their own body and test their limits in order to discover what is possible. Basic movement experience is a prerequisite. For beginners, a healthy, step-by-step approach is possible. People with previous experience will also find exciting approaches to learning important technical basics for advanced tricks (somersaults, flic flac, hand to hand, juggling, balance).

The Cirque Intense Preparatory School offers two years of daily full-time training in the basics of circus artistry with the aim of preparing students for auditions at international circus schools. The workshop makes it possible to get a taste of it on two “normal” training days.

The workshop lasts two days and takes place on 28. 28. – March 29 from 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–17:00.
