Luisa Schmitz
Luisa Schmitz was born in Zurich and works as a dancer, choreographer, coach, and dance teacher. She earned her bachelor’s degree in stage dance and choreography from Fontys Hoogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg (NL). She spent two years touring as a performer with Zirkus Chnopf and has been teaching children and teenagers circus arts and movement ever since. She teaches children the art of the circus in an encouraging and motivating way. When she’s not teaching, she tours Europe with her own clown duo or takes walks with her dog through the forests of Zurich.
Julian Bläsi
Julian has been a huge circus fan since childhood, when he attended summer camps at the Scuola Dimitri, and has taught himself many tricks in various disciplines. As a child, he practiced judo; later, he climbed with a SAC youth section; and then, via capoeira, he ended up doing breakdancing.
Julian Bläsi originally trained as a care specialist at the Sydefädeli retirement home and then worked for five years at the Klus Park senior center. As part of his alternative service, he worked at a daycare center, among other places. Through various projects at social institutions, he gained experience working with teenagers, which led him to youth work, where he has spent the last six years and, among other things, established a mobile circus program. Julian specializes in partner acrobatics and has participated in many international training camps and festivals. After completing his training as a community animator (HF), he has been working full-time as a circus educator. In recent years, he has led circus courses, including at the Robinson Children’s Circus.
