Jean Claudio.
Born and raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Since he was a kid he was always very active and attracted to any art form, but it was not until 2012 that he decided to take the performance seriously. After taking some clowning workshops he fell in love with the circus and decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina for two years. After training, performing, and eating a lot of sweets in Buenos Aires, he was ready to go back to Puerto Rico and co-founded his own company, Circo La Vuelta (now La Vuelta Ensemble), along with his partner and co-founder, Raquel Torre. In a year and a half, Circo La Vuelta became a reputable circus company in Puerto Rico working for corporate events, festivals, weddings, teaching, funerals...not that. Circo La Vuelta produced 3 full shows and more than 5 solo and duo acts. In 2016, Jean decided that he wanted to grow as an artist and moved to Chicago, IL, to continue his training at Actors Gymnasium. Since then, he has been performing, teaching, and working inside and outside of Chicago.

Some of the companies are:

Chicago:
Emerald City Theater, Theater Oobleck, Opera-Matic, Play Makers LAB. (previously known as Barrel of Monkeys), Actors Gymnasium, La Vuelta Ensemble, Filament, Midnight Circus
