MASTERCLASS AT CIRCUSWEST CircusWest was honoured today to welcome Montreal’s National Circus School to our circus centre for their entrance auditions. Since 2005, CircusWest has hosted the auditions and enjoyed a circus Master Class from their instructors. Here, CircusWest performance stream youth are challenged by Adrian to develop new acrobatic pathways based on limiting criteria. The workshop also focussed on developing stage presence, movement research, and unlocking flexibility. Over the years, many CircusWest graduates has attended the National Circus School to pursue post secondary specialized training. As a result, many CircusWest and National Circus School alumni now work professionally as circus artists with such companies as Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Eloize, Sept Doigt de la Main, and other companies around the world. CircusWest recently launched its own post secondary prepatory program called 4P. We work with aspiring circus artists locally to level up their skill base, push their limits and ultimately realize their circus dreams and ambitions.

TOP SPIN! Special thanks to the PUSH Festival for helping to coordinate a Roue Cyr Masterclass at CircusWest with feature performer Marica from France’s 7Bis Circus/Theatre company.
7Bis and workshop leader Marica Marinoni are in town presenting Lontano + Instante at the Vancouver’s PUSH Festival. This two person show features two thoughtful, physically fierce artists who are quite literally reinventing the wheel. For show information and tickets, check https://pushfestival.ca/shows/lontano-instante/ The advanced workshop challenged Vancouver’s Roue Cyr specialists with new sequences, entrances, exits, linking choreography and improvisation. Much was learned and new doors opened for these artists to explore and create. We thank PUSH Festival for bringing these amazing avant garde circus, dance, theatre and new age storytellers to Vancouver and fostering enriching opportunities for engagement, collaboration and masterclasses.

PUSHING LIMITS! CircusWest is honoured today to have a Masterclass workshop from members of Australia’s prestigious circus company CIRCA. CIRCA is in Vancouver performing at the Playhouse Theatre as part of the PUSH Festival adapting Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring in a creation called SACRE. Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the world’s leading performance companies. From Brisbane, Australia, they have toured the world – performing in more than 40 countries to over 1.5 million people. CIRCA is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus —-pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances —- pushing the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus.
CircusWest thanks Marti, Kim and Daniel for a truly amazing, very physical workshop where our Apprentice and Performance artist/athletes pushed their limits in an attempt to defy gravity. Check out www.pushfestival.ca for their show and other amazing, thought provoking and daring theatre, dance and circus productions.
