Marco Antonio Coelho Bortoleto

I'm an acrobatics enthusiast, who has become a professional artist and a circus teacher. After I realized that my body could no longer support my acrobatics work, I decided to join a university to research circus and contribute to bring together different circus people/sectors (social, recreational, professional, ...) and keep myself connected with this wonderful art form.
