10:00 am to 12:00 pm

The editorial committee of Jonglages magazine invites you to a meeting dedicated to the content and forms of learning provided to jugglers by juggling teachers in professional circus schools. How do these teachers guide their students along the paths of interpretation and creation? With regard to the skills targeted, the exercises proposed and the practices involved, this round table aims to give a first overview of what is involved in training jugglers by jugglers.

This discussion will subsequently be published in Jonglages magazine.

With : Olivier Burlaud, teacher at ESAC Brussels, École de cirque de Lyon and CNAC Châlons-en-Champagne, Gaëlle Bisellach-Roig, teacher at CRAC Lomme, L’Ésacto’Lido and ESAC Brussels & Morgan Cosquer, teacher at L’Ésacto’Lido
Moderation: Cyrille Roussial

Round table : Circus and cultural action: What are the issues and specificities?
2.15pm to 3.45pm

The circus arts are singular, freeing themselves from frameworks and engaging in dialogue with other disciplines. For many years now, they have found a relevant place at the heart of local communities, through local projects based on shared creation and transmission.

What are the challenges and specific features of artistic and cultural action projects with circus performers, both in changing urban environments and in less densely populated areas? What special relationships can the circus forge with local residents and stakeholders?

With : Sylvain Pascal & Valentina Santori – Collectif Protocole, Jan Naets and Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga – Cie Basinga, Patrick Norynberg – teacher and public policy consultant.
Moderator: Vincent Berhault
