Creative and Exploration Workshop by the National Circus School
"Circus master Estelle Clareton has been putting six graduates and final-year students from the National Circus School through their paces, and the result is this full-length studio production – an entire contemporary circus show they created from start to finish. In this workshop, an atmosphere of exploration is created, where ideas may freely germinate and risks are taken – technical, physical, emotional. Discover the talents of those young artists!" Free tickets available as of October 2 for St. Michel residents and as of October 9 for Montreal residents. Reservations required.
