Description:

A vibrant performing arts collective in Blanquefort, France, is seeking a passionate and skilled Circus Arts Animator (H/F) to join their team. This role is available on a fixed-term contract (CDD) or freelance basis, offering an immediate start with a flexible minimum commitment of 4 hours per week. The primary mission involves designing, preparing, and leading engaging circus workshop sessions for participants ranging from toddlers (2 years old) to adults. These workshops will be conducted in various settings, including schools and holiday camps. The animator will introduce fundamental circus disciplines such as juggling, acrobatics, object balance, and theatrical performance, guiding participants towards a culminating show. Beyond instruction, responsibilities include managing pedagogical resources and actively contributing to the organization's community life. Candidates should possess specific qualifications, including BPJEPS activités cirque, BIAC/TIAC, D.E Professeur.e de cirque, or BPJEPS APT. A valid B driving license is essential, as the role requires operating utility vehicles (provided by the association) for workshops conducted both in Blanquefort and within a 50 km radius. Strong technical proficiency and practical experience across multiple circus disciplines—including juggling, acrobatics, object balance, clowning/acting, and trapeze—are crucial. Familiarity with the workings of associative life is also highly valued. New team members will benefit from an initial accompaniment period. Additionally, free training and rehearsal space are available to support artistic development. Applicants are advised to seek out the official application method for Association Asphyxie directly, as specific contact details were not provided in the original job post.
