The circus education year is a ten-month intensive program with a focus on contemporary circus. It offers the opportunity to work intensively on circus-relevant technology and at the same time to develop your own artistic language. Over 160 days of training, participants explore aerial and ground acrobatics, physical conditioning and creative processes.
Our program provides a structured framework for consistently training in a fixed group. It serves as targeted preparation for circus schools, as artistic development or as a focused circus orientation year. Experienced lecturers and professional artists will guide you in your technical and performance development.
