INAC is an international center dedicated exclusively to circus arts, based in the North of Portugal.
The Institute has two main missions: to train artists who have an multidisciplinary approach which can lead to the development and establishment of new artistic aesthetics; and to reach out to all audiences, spreading and implementing contemporary circus in Portugal, providing a new offer and enriching the current cultural panorama.
Traditionally, the circus is a "big family", and INAC is no exception. All of our projects are made with love for what we do, compassion, and a lot of hard work.
INAC classes run under a 3000m2 space, organized between: circus area, acrobatic area, dance and theatre studio, theoretical room, artistic residence space with black box, photo and vídeo studio.
INAC is open from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 21:00.
Here are some of INAC projects: “Professional Circus Program”, “Preparatory Circus program”, “Circo de papel” (contemporary circus shows under a circus tent), “Circo por Todos” (Social project), “Artistic residences”, “Circo à noite” (regular circus classes from 3 years old), “Cupula Festival” (Circus Village Festival every year in September).
INAC’s contemporary circus training program is aimed at stimulating and training young circus artists in a high technical and artistic level.
This is a course focused on the technical aspect of Circus, giving the students the tools needed for a healthy regurlar circus practice. Besides the circus techniques, there are the acrobatics disciplines and some of the artistic disciplines. The students work in a laboratory where they prepare a public presentation. At the end of the preparatory year, the students will be ready for auditioning the professional circus program at INAC or any other professional circus school.

Every year, INAC offers one scolarship to one student, for the 2-year professional circus program.
