Jongle et Compagnie – Villers-Semeuse

Jongle et Compagnie is a circus arts association based in Villers-Semeuse , in the Ardennes. Created in 2022 , it brings together people wishing to discover, practice and share the different circus disciplines within an association framework.

His project can be summed up by the phrase " circus for all and by all ". The objective is to offer a place and a framework allowing members to practice circus arts, take classes, and also come together around collective projects.

The practice is therefore not limited to technical learning. Jongle et Compagnie also aims to enable its members to create shows, develop projects around the circus and participate in various activities related to circus arts.

The association has access to sports facilities in Villers-Semeuse for its activities, notably at the Roger Marche Sports Complex and its gymnasium. This environment allows for the organization of regular sessions as well as introductory events.

Jongle et Compagnie organizes open days allowing the public to come and meet the association and try out circus arts. Specific introductory sessions have also been offered to young people, particularly those aged 11-16 .

This desire for openness corresponds to the association's general project: to make the practice of circus accessible locally and to allow residents to come together around an activity that is at once physical , artistic and collective .

The creation of shows and circus projects is also among the stated objectives of Jongle et Compagnie . Participants can thus develop through an approach that combines learning, collective practice, and creation.

Based in Villers-Semeuse since 2022 , Jongle et Compagnie thus contributes to the development of an amateur practice of circus arts in the Charleville-Mézières area and more broadly in the Ardennes.
