Auditions are the last step in the admission process to our Higher Education program or to our Circus and High School studies.

Your participation in the auditions allows us to evaluate your physical conditions and abilities: flexibility, stability, coordination, agility, strength, synchronism, precision of execution, etc. The selection committee will also take into account the originality of your performance, your ability to act and improvise, as well as your specialized skills – circus, acrobatic, sports or other disciplines.

Those selected to participate in the auditions will receive an official invitation by email.

Two ways to participate

We offer two different ways to participate in the auditions:

  • in person – in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver or Paris
  • by video

You will have previously chosen the audition method that suits you in your application.

Whenever possible, in-person auditions are preferable to video auditions because they allow the selection committee to better evaluate your abilities. However, you may receive an invitation to audition by video rather than in person, even if you have chosen the latter in your application.

Important: Any expenses related to participation in the auditions – travel, accommodation or other – are entirely at the candidates’ expense.
