POSTPONED Creative Community: The Hat Trick
Learn about circus creation through hat juggling with Yohann Trépanier!
During this introductory workshop, we explore the hat as an object of play and movement. Through juggling, manipulation, clowning, and dancing, we experience skill, clumsiness, and the pleasure of gesture. The hat becomes a playing partner, a pretext for improvisation, and a support for expression, in a fun, accessible, and progressive approach.
NB. This event was initially scheduled to take place in on March 12, but due to bad weather it was postponed to Wednesday, March 25, 6:30 p.m. If you registered before the date change, you don’t need register again.

A circus artist since 2004, Yohann Trépanier has developed an artistic universe that is both comic and poetic, and where the relationship between the body and the object is at the heart of his creativity. He constantly explores new aspects of circus arts and shares his work with diverse audiences from around the world.
A graduate from the École de cirque de Québec (2007) and the National Circus School in Montreal (2012), Yohann stands out for his creativity and proactivity. He made a name for himself with the duo Les Beaux Frères and the essential comic number La Serviette (Napkin). He also co-founded Machine de Cirque, a company with an international reputation where he was involved as a performer and creator of its several major productions. At the same time, he nurtured a research and development practice, through which the oscillating mast for circus acts emerged, among other things.
Always questioning his art and his practice, Yohann gives depth and singularity to his projects, whether they are about interpretation, creation or training. His approach values sharing and exchange, inviting an artistic experience that is both personal and collective, and demonstrates an innovative approach to circus arts.
