In 1981 at the Immaculate Conception Center, a circus school begins to attract young artists interested in theatrical acrobatics.
It combines required academic subjects as outlined by the Quebec secondary school curriculum with professional training in the circus arts.
Intended for Canadian and French students who have completed their high school studies, the program combines specialized training in the circus and theatre arts with a general college education.
Specialized training in circus arts, technical courses: physical conditioning, dance, acting, voice and music, performance and creation as well as basic and advanced techniques of aerials, acrobatics, balancing and manipulation.
Theory courses: circus history, applied anatomy, methodology, health and safety, staging techniques and career management.
Intended exclusively for foreign students who have completed their high school studies, this 3-year program constitutes the final phase of higher education in the circus arts.
Creative and acting workshops are among the many diverse activities that complement the training participants receive, culminating in performing before an audience.
