CAN I HELP YOU?
Thank you... but... No thank you.
We all need help. We all love to help.
Helping is a tricky business.
Klaus Jürgens and Aurélia Brailowsky
Get to know the newest talent in circus
In Rotterdam, rough circus diamonds are polished at Codarts Circus Arts. During Cirque Mania, the 14 second-year students of this course showcase their talent. Under the direction of choreographer-director Klaus Jürgens and circographer Aurélia Brailowsky, the spirited aspiring circus performers create a dazzling group performance, including aerial and floor acrobatics, balancing acts, contortion, object manipulation, Cyr wheel and walking globe.
Each study year, students of Codarts Circus Arts work with experienced directors on a group creation, in a challenge to get to know their approaches and styles. These performances are presented to the public on various occasions throughout the year.
