The MANDARINE circus school

Created in October 1992, the no money-making purpose association "Les Matinées de Mandarine" (the Mornings of Mandarine) offers to anyone passionately fond of circus, mainly kids and teenagers, infrastructures which may allow them to learn or to master every circus skill, especially the clowning art.

The school is more concerned about giving kids an original way to express themselves according to a current pedagogical way of thinking rather than just forming circus artists.

Anyone can learn how to act (voice - diction - space occupation), how to juggle (handkerchiefs - balls - plates - hammers - diabolos), how to control balance (unicycle - stilts - balance bowl - rola-bola - tightrope walking), how to master acrobatics (somersault - pyramids) and how to use a trapeze.

Each youngster will find a new way to express himself and to bloom in a role that best fits his personality and his hidden goals, even though there's no competition spirit at all.
