The Centre Régional des Arts du Cirque de Lomme-Lille is run by the Et vous trouvez ça drôle association, created in 1994 by Christophe Crampette and Pascal Croain. After having developed open circus workshops, they introduced a vocational programme for artists in 2000. There are 3 courses on offer: an artistic training programme and a preparatory class for graduate school entrance examinations.
The artistic training programme aims to prepare students for entry into professional working life after three years of training. This course usually follows on from a preparatory class.
The preparatory classes enable students to reach the level required for applying to circus arts graduate schools in France and abroad. The course takes place over one or two academic years.
In 2019-2020, a total of 56 young people from 7 different nationalities attended the centre. The training programme is based on the areas below:
