CIRQUE DU SOLEIL CASTING TEAM WILL BE AT THIS YEAR’S
ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ROTTERDAM!

Cirque du Soleil will be present at the 2010 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Rotterdam in October 2010. We are pleased to return to this prestigious event as a guest of the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). It is also our pleasure to take part in the closing ceremony with the presentation of a special act.

Acrobatic talent scout, Stacy Clark and Head Acrobatic Talent Scout - Europe, Philippe Agogué will be available to talk with coaches and athletes about the various on-stage career opportunities that Cirque du Soleil is offering to athletes after their competitive career. This is your chance to learn first-hand about what we’re looking for. If you would like to schedule a meeting with Stacy when in Rotterdam, please contact her now at stacy.clark@cirquedusoleil.com. 

At the core of the creative energy of Cirque du Soleil shows are athletes, acrobats and artists at the pinnacle of their art. Each artist is an integral part of the originality of Cirque du Soleil productions, and everyone’s contribution is essential to the success of the cast. 51% of our artists come from sports disciplines such as artistic, rhythmic and acrobatic gymnastics, as well as trampoline, tumbling, diving and synchronized swimming, and urban acrobatic disciplines. Since athletes are such an important part of our casts, our talent scouts are keeping a close eye on what is happening on the sports scene worldwide to follow the evolution of the disciplines and to see the amazing achievements of high level sportswomen and men.   

For athletes ready to live their passion for sports in a new way and who would like to learn more about the life of a Cirque du Soleil artist, the Casting team invites you to visit its website today:WWW.CIRQUEDUSOLEIL.COM/JOBS

Good luck to all the competitors and coaches at the 2010 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships!
