ATLANTIC CIRQUE IS EXPANDING
PRESS RELEASE -HALIFAX, April 22nd 2013
– Atlantic Cirque Ltd., Atlantic Canada’s School of Circus Arts, has been in operation in Halifax since 2002 and in Moncton since 2012 and now counts 16+ staff in its circus family.
Atlantic Cirque (Burnside location) currently welcomes over 200 weekly participants and is open 7 days/week, 12 hours/day most days. The majority of our classes are full and our birthday parties are often booked 3 months in advance. So, in order to fulfill the demand, we need more space... That is why we are excited to announce that we are expanding our space this Spring!!
The construction plans have been approved and the expansion project is set to start next month. This means that our gym floor will become larger by moving our birthday party room, costume room and offices up to a newly built second level. The gym floor will not be affected by the construction, and therefore classes will continue as usual.
These changes will allow Atlantic Cirque to double the number of weekly classes offered (from 20 to 40) with more advanced, specialized classes to focus on specific mediums, as well as the opportunity to run two smaller groups of students on the gym floor at once. This also means that we will be able to offer more birthday party times and welcome more participants for each party. The new party room will accommodate larger groups by 30+% for such thing as camps, corporate team buildings and birthday parties.
Come learn trapeze, trampoline, aerial silk, hoop, adagio, contortion, juggling, hula hoop, German wheel, acrobatics and more in our NEW expanded circus school. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of June, so join our summer workshops, camps and reserve your party today!

In the fall, Montreal’s National Circus School embarks on a pre-selection tour in a cross-Canada quest for talented young people between the ages of 9 and 17. There will be stops in close to 20 cities coast-to-coastfrom November 2 to 17, 2012.
The pre-selection tour is an opportunity for young people to have their potential evaluated and to meet the School's teachers, while also learning more about the programs and the life of a circus artist.
During the tour the School's teaching staff will hold workshops, with exercises designed to assess the aspiring circus artists' calibre and potential to integrate into the School's programs. In particular, they will be tested for spatial orientation, coordination, flexibility, strength, stage presence (acting ability), movement and musicality (dance). In addition to this opportunity to be evaluated by circus arts professionals, young aspirants will attend a briefing on the School's training programs and learn more about the career of a circus performer.
Once pre-selected, candidates may register for the official Entrance Examination in February or for one of the summer camps to complete the admission process.

Nocturne: October 16th 2010
On the site of the present-day Alderney Landing there was once a circus ground. On certain nights in October, the ghosts of the carnival return―midway music and smells, the sound of hawkers, the glow of sideshow tents and strings of bare bulbs blaze overhead. The crowd is confronted by performers and clowns, the mood is dark, a bit dangerous. The performers are looking for something, something stolen from them long ago―the essence of their circus. Join them on this adventure of redemption as the dark side seeks its light.
