SUMMER WORKSHOP - SPECIALIZED WORKSHOP

These Summer Workshops are offered to people aged 18 years old and over. Participants must already have experience in a circus discipline on top of acquired technical skills and they are looking to further develop their skills in their discipline. Your application must be approved by the École de cirque de Québec’s selection committee before you can register for these specialized workshops.
In addition to improving knowledge in basic circus arts disciplines (acrobatics, balances, flexibility and physical preparation), this workshop will allow participants to choose a specific discipline in which they will want to develop their skills. The participants will also have the opportunity to discover certain artistic disciplines practiced in groups such as dance and theatrical play.
Our summer workshops are not introductory courses or training courses for trainers. You must already have a minimum of knowledge in the circus arts or in a high performance sport in order to be able to benefit from it.
