Description
We are a non profit contemporary circus school, providing professional circus training for adults. Participants then apply for vocational training at circus universities. Some take part to get to know better about ideas of their future professional jobs, or simply to have a great experience with a cultural project. We have also some children groups training once a week.
We founded the project in 2018 with the idea of giving the opportunity to learn a fascinating, cross-disciplinary and contemporary art.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will do tasks with nice circus people and you could also enjoy from time to time to participate in the training of circus arts on a regular basis. An internship in Tiny House and circus wagon construction is included. We are situated in a beautiful area, close to Freiburg, France and Switzerland, but on the countryside. So connection to the public transport network is here, but not very good. In order to be flexible, it is also necessary to like to move by bike.
You as a helper would live with us in our nice and cosy house which is about 11km away.
Our capital Freiburg (40km) is one of the most attractive cities in Germany. To Basel, you can take a train in 45 minutes. And you will find wonderful nature here with the black forest and meadows.
Help
We are a preparatory circus school. So our daily business is circus training. Our training space is a circus tent, so there is always need for general maintenance. Our big DIY project at the moment is the renovation of a circus wagon. In November and December we are going to mount another bigger circus tent. Many hands are helpful.
We are still a young company and are continuing to develop. We are also looking for people who enjoy doing a good job as social networkers and who like producing instagram stories or who are talented in fundraising. If you are interested for this, we will also be very happy to host you.

This was my very first workaway experience and I loved it! I stayed with Robert, his lovely wife Birgit and their dog for a few days. They are warmhearted people, have a wide range of interests and like to laugh so I felt immediately at home.… read more
