Transmission

What is given is never lost

Look at a juggling ball. As long as it sits at the bottom of a pocket, it is nothing: an object asleep. It only begins to exist when thrown — and better still, thrown towards someone. Circus knowledge is like that. Nobody owns it, it weighs nothing when kept to oneself, and it only gains value when passed on. Learning and teaching are not two separate moments: they are the same gesture, seen from both sides. The one who learns is already transmitting something — their way of trying, their joyful stubbornness, their own particular way of falling and getting back up. And the one who teaches never stops learning.

That is why we rarely say we 'give classes'. We prefer to say we share a practice. Because what circulates on the mat is not only technique: it is a certain idea of the world. A place where no one holds the definitive gesture, where mistakes are part of the path, where each person progresses at their own pace and never at the expense of others. The circus we share does not produce performers: it invites people, young and old, to find their own balance — literally and figuratively.

What we share

There is something for every pair of hands and every temperament: objects that fly (balls, scarves, rings, clubs, diabolos, devil sticks, Chinese plates, cigar boxes), objects that carry and wobble (balance balls, rola bola, unicycles), the body rolling and tipping in floor acrobatics — and everything that fits in no trunk: clown play, mime, working with emotions, magic, music, the art of being watched without hiding.

All of this is shared by experienced artist-educators: people of the ring who practise what they teach and who know that you only learn well where you feel at ease. All our instructors hold the BIAC or BPJEPS qualification, or bring long experience in circus and its transmission. Every session begins with a warm-up and proceeds with respect for each person's body and rhythm. And when the group is ready, comes the finest part: creating a show together, from the first 'what if we…' to the final bow.

What it brings

First: pleasure — it is our only non-negotiable requirement. Everything else comes as a bonus, and it always comes: coordination and motor skills refined without thinking, concentration settling in, self-confidence growing with every object caught. Circus teaches courage: daring to try, daring to fall in front of others, daring to be applauded. It teaches the group too: in a clubs passing as in a pyramid, you never succeed alone. You discover an art form, you discover others, and often you discover yourself a little more capable than you thought.

Who, where, how

Based in the Alpes-Maritimes, the company works throughout the region. Our circus fits in a pocket and unfolds anywhere: a school courtyard, a gymnasium, a village hall, a field. We teach wherever we are welcomed, and for all audiences without exception:

• —Workshops to dive into circus over several days
• —Discovery sessions at parties, events or festivals
• —School interventions and class projects from nursery to secondary, including extra-curricular sports (UNSS)
• —Cultural mediation building bridges between a show, a venue, a territory and its people
• —Adapted circus at special schools (IME) or any facility for people with disabilities: circus has the rare quality of adapting to each person rather than requiring each person to adapt to it

Concretely, how does it work?

Nothing simpler: you write to us, we talk, and we build the project together. If you prefer, we can also send you proposals tailored to your audience, your venue and your wishes. Then we arrive — with the circus in our pocket.
