Preparatory Program, ages 9 to 13.
As a complement to the higher education programs, the School offers graduates a chance to participate in a professional insertion session. The workshop enables 5 to 8 young artists to integrate what they have learned and gain the complete experience of creating a contemporary circus work under the direction of creative and stage directors. Workshop participants are selected through an audition and receive a scholarship. The session runs for about 3 months, culminating in a public performance of the work created.
In 2010, 4 graduating students as well as 3 alumni have been selected to take part in the Creation Workshop, directed by Peter James. The result of their work will be presented at TOHU, October 15, 16 & 17, 2010.
