Opening of professional training sessions

Training, researching, connecting: the CIAM opens its big tops to artists!

Designed as a true professional working tool, these training sessions provide an environment suited to maintaining one’s practice, deepening research, and experimenting in real working conditions. Height, apparatuses, space: everything is in place to allow circus artists to work in demanding conditions, at the heart of a venue dedicated to creation.

Beyond training, these sessions are conceived as spaces for exchange and circulation of practices. They encourage encounters between professionals, outside perspectives, and collective dynamics within an environment that is both structured and open.

Who is it for?

• Professional circus artists from all disciplines
• Artists wishing to meet other professionals and share their expertise
• Artists interested in discovering the CIAM and its artistic project
