Champs Boule Tout

Champs Boule Tout is an association dedicated to the discovery, learning and educational use of circus arts, active mainly in Hennebont and Camors , in Morbihan.

Founded in 2009 , the association develops an approach to circus arts based on creativity , cooperation , mutual support , and the pleasure of practicing together . It uses circus techniques as a support for artistic and physical learning, but also as an educational , social , and therapeutic tool for very diverse audiences.

Regular classes

Regular classes are available for children from 4 years old . Several groups are organized in Hennebont and Camors to adapt the duration and content of the sessions to the age of the participants.

The workshops are intentionally playful and cooperative . Children are encouraged to discover several major families of circus arts rather than immediately specializing in a single discipline.

Juggling and object manipulation

Juggling and object manipulation play an important role in the sessions. Participants can experiment with balls , diabolos , sticks , rings and hula hoops .

Balances on objects

Balancing on objects is another major focus. The school has equipment including balance balls , tightropes , rola-bolas , unicycles and stilts .

Acrobatics

Acrobatics is practiced individually but also in groups . This collective dimension aligns with the association's educational aim of developing cooperation , mutual support and trust among participants.

Body language

Physical expression complements technical learning. Movement in space, imagination, and creativity allow children to approach circus arts as an artistic practice and not just as a series of technical exercises.

Internships during school holidays

In addition to weekly lessons, Champs Boule Tout regularly organizes training camps during school holidays . These camps allow children to discover or deepen their knowledge of the different disciplines in a more intensive format.

Trapeze is one of the disciplines offered during the workshops. Juggling, balance ball, tightrope, other balancing objects, body expression, cooperation and creativity complete these programs.

Circummotor skills and early childhood

Champs Boule Tout also develops significant work around early childhood through circus-based activities. These body awareness workshops use circus objects and imagery to support the motor development of young children.

Circummotor skills allow us to work on body perception , space , laterality , balance , movement , and the relationship to objects . The sessions are based on motor skills, play, colors, materials, and imagination.

Engagement with specific audiences

One of the great distinguishing features of Champs Boule Tout is its commitment to audiences requiring specific support .

The association works with priority groups and in specialized institutions. It develops adapted circus projects as well as art therapy activities.

This approach allows circus arts to be used in a way that goes beyond simply learning technical skills. The body, objects, movement, creativity, and relationships with others become tools for building projects tailored to the abilities and needs of the participants.

Events, festivals and school projects

Champs Boule Tout also operates outside of its regular classes, particularly in the context of events and festivals .

Students participate in creative projects and can present their work to an audience. The association thus develops a genuine dimension of performance and collective creation in addition to the educational workshops.

Projects with schools have also been developed. They can combine circus practice, artistic encounters and the discovery of professional shows.

The association also uses visual arts and music in some of its projects, which reinforces its cross-disciplinary approach to creation.

A particularly large project

With its regular classes, holiday camps, circus-related activities, interventions with specific audiences, work in adapted circus and art therapy, and participation in various cultural events, Champs Boule Tout has a particularly broad project .

It is therefore both an amateur circus school for children in the Hennebont and Camors area and a structure using circus arts as an educational, artistic, social and therapeutic tool .
