circusnext, the Maison des Jonglages, the Académie Fratellini and the Beaux-Arts de Paris offer on a regular basis, their students a week-long masterclass led by a circus artist whose artistic approach intersects with the visual arts.    

This is a time of collective research and experimentation, allowing participants to pool their learning and individuality. 

How can the visual and performing arts be mutually enriching? What are the links between these two approaches, these two disciplines? What exchanges and dialogues are possible?  

Corps et matière – un espace commun is a cross-disciplinary exploration between circus performers and visual artists to diversify the artistic, technical and scenographic approaches that resonate with the body and movement.
