Soul Penny Circus

Beyond
Technique

Some circuses show you what the body can do. Soul Penny Circus shows you what the body can say.

Soul Penny Circus is the creative production arm of Le Château de Cirque. It's the space where circus artists come to develop work — where technical mastery becomes dramaturgical material, where daily training meets artistic vision.

Original productions. Creation workshops. Artist residencies. Collaborations with directors, set designers and composers. The Château as a place of making, not just training.

The Workshop

Building
a Circus Show

An intensive stage creation program for intermediate and advanced circus artists. Not a technique class — a fabrication process. From concept to stage.

01

Concept

Developing the artistic vision. Finding the subject. Establishing the relationship between discipline and dramaturgy.

02

Choreography

Building meaningful movement phrases. Technique in service of the story — not the other way around.

03

Costume & Scenography

Space as collaborator. Costume as character extension. Sound and light as narration.

04

Performance

Audience presentation. Structured critical feedback. The stage as laboratory.
