For those wishing to escape the routine of classes, the National Circus School is accepting audition applications until Jan. 16. The school will hold auditions and mandatory entrance exams this February in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal Grants and scholarships will be available.
Currently the school’s 140 students come from all over the world, with backgrounds in gymnastics, dance, diving, and martial arts. Marc Lalonde, director of the National Circus School, says 95 per cent of students are hired mere weeks after graduation, with many forming their own successful companies or joining the famed Cirque du Soleil.
