We will be accepting applicants into the 2025 Preparatory program that are between the ages 17 and 23 who are able to make the commitment to train 7- 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
The program's focus is split into five pillars of circus: Aerial, Ground, Rebound, Clowning, and Dance/Movement which are essential in being a well-rounded performer. All students will participate in core classes as a group as well as specialty and master classes per their specific goals.
The students will also have the opportunity to be a part of development, creation and execution both on and off stage for our semester shows and other workshop opportunities. In the program you will also study technical production, rigging, health, and business.
The Preparatory program is designed to help the student reach goals including, but not limited to, auditioning for higher education schools such as ENC, ESAC, CNAC, ECQ, CODARTS and/or attending our professional program.
The program costs $1000 monthly, plus a $350 non-refundable registration fee for accepted applicants.
