PARTNER ACROBATICS FRIBOURG

acrobat, base

Xavier was formed in the acrobatic Italian family Nicolodi from 1999 to 2005. Once his formation done, he joins the circus Zanzibar for the creation “Sang et or”, Cabaret Z” and “Hechicero”. At this time he began a new technique, hand to hand with Sébastien Soldevilla and the one who will become his flyer Chloé Tribollet. But most of all he discover a new way to approach circus, where act are not an end: the world of contemporary circus, its liberty and possibilities are now open to him.He goes in 2009 in Quebec to play with Les 7 Doigts de la main in “Traces” and “La Vie”.In 2010 he creates a duo with Chloé Tribollet who will be awarded in lots of big festivals. In 2011 the Cie XY contacts them to join the show “Le grand C”. The work of the compagnie around acropartner, the way of seeing the rewarding experience of collectives, it makes him want to keep going and participate in the creation of “Il n’est pas encore minuit” in 2014. After touring 2 years with them, he decides in 2016 with his partner Ann-Katrin Jornot to push their acrobatic duo for creating the show “Speakeasy”.

is an acroyoga passionated and international certified teacher, and has been teaching for more than 5 years throughout the world. She loves to learn as much as she loves to teach and what she shares is what comes out of her mind, creating and exploring new ways to move and dance in weird, crazy and really funky washing machines and flows that turns and twists your mind as much as your body ! 

Following years of martial arts practice, Mathieu started exploring disciplines including parkour, dragonboat, climbing and hand balancing. Discovering the many benefits of Acroyoga made him quickly adopt it as a main practice.
He develops a particular interest in skills requiring balance, subtlety and strength, as well as working with all possible body combinations. Connection and creation through the partnership is what brings him joy the most. From his beginnings in 2013, he started teaching 3 years later and certified with Acroyoga Montreal in the process.
To continuously share and learn is what drives him to teach, always in the spirit of cooperation, progress and respect.

He started unicycle around 15 years old; but what can he does with such a knowledge? After three years at the university he realizes that he is done with the french educative system. At the age of 23, he decides to go in a circus school and no one stop him! In 2010 he went to the “Ecole de Cirque de Lyon”. In his kind of weird project he found a partner; a small guy crazy enough to be his flyer. Because yes, he decide now to work in partneracrobatic, on unicycle of course.

She knew very young that she would be a circus artist, but she will make some turn around before becoming it. Ballet takes her to gymnastics and modern dance; Science to magic and anthropology. Her apprenticeship is done during shows in night clubs as well as student in Columbia University of New York. After her carrier of dancer, she goes back to circus and arrives in the National Circus School of Montréal. She is admitted in a discipline she doesn’t even know yet: Cyr Wheel. She is 23, it is never too late… Even for an oath done at 6 years old! Very soon, she meets two French guys, Ronan and Dorian. They create a street trio, for a summer season. She leaves them for the creation and the tour of the show Luzia with Cirque Du Soleil. And now she’s back!

As a child, Dorian in very active and loves moving a lot. He practice as teenager a lot of different sport and play KinBall in a high level. He discovers the circus at the age of 17 with the show “Risque Zéro”, from Galapiat Cirque. He see in this new art the possibility to associate the joy of being on stage and the physical performance; but also the possibility of expression and imagination. He begins then circus at 20 in the “Ecole de Cirque de Lyon”, better late than never… He meets Ronan, his base, after oneyear of working in solo.

Icarian, whips, whip-pops

My first Acrobatic experience in 2015 reminded me of my childhood. Playing in a light- and joyful way with like minded people. Seeing people smile and laugh like kids is one of the things that hooked me to the practice of partner acrobatics. 
Dynamic tricks in L-Basing (Icarian, Whips, Whip-pops) is what I practice the most and love to share with the world. 
Partner Acrobatics, LEAP and ACROVINYASA are some of the programs that I have learned from.

Handbalance

After many years of circus activities who gives him the love of teaching, he began a pedagogical formation in the Bruxelles Circus School. He works then in France and Ireland as circus teacher. He specialises himself in handstands in 2015 in Kiev circus school. Since then he works in switzerland in the Cirque Toameme and he opened a handstand class since 2017.

Olli started his AcroYoga experience in 2016 and since that day he has been addicted to everything related to AcroYoga. L-basing, standing acrobatics and Handstands he just loves to move. That’s why he travels all over the World to expand his skills. He enjoys learning from each other’s, because he strongly believes that you can learn something new from everybody. His passions are whips, pops, whippops, fancy "washing machines", partner workouts and trust building as a team. He loves to make people fly, to see them smile and their reaction when something new get developed and work for the first time. Also the communication, the connection and the trust that you share when you do acrobatics together as a Team puts a huge smile on his face. He’s a passionate L-base, but wait until the big guy finds a base. Developing flows as a unit, trying out difficult figures together, that is what it’s about for him. He loves to share his passion with others and to create a very playful, safe and most of the time sweaty environment in his workshops. Always accompanied by sparkles, watch your toes...
