Here, a supportive community of physical performers will help you build strength and confidence, allowing you to create groundbreaking works that redefine physical expression. Specialized training in acrobatics and clowning gives you the tools to soar onto the stages of Chicago and beyond, making the impossible possible.

Our ProTraining program provides 27 hours per week of intense, high-caliber circus theatre training. Students choose between two primary concentrations: acrobatics and clown. Both concentrations include coursework in foundational circus and performance skills, including:

1. Physical theatre (ensemble building, physical improvisation, devising, flocking, partner/acro yoga)
2. Dance (ballet, contemporary-based technique, low flying, improvisation, choreography)
3. Fundamentals (safety, stretching and conditioning, Pilates, injury prevention, special topics such as circus history and career management)
4. Training starts with "boot camp," where students undergo four intense weeks of training focusing on increasing strength, flexibility, and technique.
5. Boot camp also provides a foundational skill set in physical theatre, dance, tumbling, and juggling and gives students the tools to craft their own workout regimen to serve them as they dive into the remaining 8 months of training.
