Lab at the Châtellerault Circus School
A look back at the circusnext lab Research & Writing, held from 3 to 8 November 2026 at the Châtellerault Circus School.
This playful yet profound lab engages bodies, stories, imaginations and environments as drivers of action, with the aim of creating a unique circus experience for each individual. During a week-long workshop at the Châtellerault Circus School, students explored these themes under the guidance of Eleonora Giménez, an author, director, performer and circus teacher.
« Through work that moves between the collective and the intimate, we question the distinction between the roles of author, performer, director, and dramaturg, in order to better understand their place and function within the creative process. » Eleonora Gimenez
With the support of la Fondation de France
In partnership with l’École Nationale de Cirque Châtellerault
