Klub 303 – Circus Arts in Krakow

Klub 303 is a municipal cultural center located in the Czyżyny district of Kraków, Poland. It belongs to the Ośrodek Kultury Kraków-Nowa Huta network, which brings together several local cultural institutions.

Known for its circus activities, Klub 303 offers regular circus arts training for children and teenagers, as well as a training space open to more experienced practitioners.

A circus tradition in the heart of the neighborhood

Circus arts occupy an important place in the identity of Klub 303.

Over the years, the center has developed practice groups, performances and artistic collaborations, notably with French and German companies and theaters.

Circus activities allow residents to discover different disciplines and participate in collective projects.

An introduction to circus arts

The program offered to young people begins in particular with the Zerówka Cyrkowa , a group for children who discover circus techniques.

The exercises are based on the manipulation of accessories, coordination, balance and concentration.

Learning allows you to progress at your own pace before joining higher-level groups, depending on the skills acquired.

The Dywizjon Cyrkowy

Dywizjon Cyrkowy is an advanced training group for children aged 10 and over who have already acquired the basics of circus arts.

Participants work on several disciplines: juggling with balls, scarves and rings, diabolo, poi, unicycle, stilts and balance exercises on different equipment.

The teaching includes, in particular, rolla bolla and work on cable or balance rope.

The group also prepares public presentations allowing young people to develop their stage presence.

Juggling and balance

Juggling and balance disciplines are two important aspects of the teaching.

Children discover different families of objects and learn to coordinate their movements.

Exercises on unicycles, stilts and balance equipment develop body control, concentration and perseverance.

Technical progress is accompanied by learning cooperation and teamwork.

A training space for teenagers and adults

Klub 303 also offers an Otwarta Przestrzeń Cyrkowa , an open space for circus practice.

This activity welcomes teenagers and adults wishing to train, meet other practitioners or exchange experiences.

It complements structured courses by offering a less formal framework for collective practice.

An identified artistic framework

The activities of Dywizjon Cyrkowy and the open space are led by Dominik Pawlik , passionate about juggling and balance, also involved in fire show projects.

His approach combines technical learning, experimentation and the discovery of different disciplines.

Shows and collective projects

The groups of Klub 303 participate in local cultural life.

They showcase their skills at shows, parties and events organized by the center.

These projects give participants the opportunity to develop their creativity, work in teams, and discover the relationship with the public.

An amateur circus school integrated into a cultural center

Klub 303 is not a professional school offering diplomas. However, it offers a genuine learning path in circus arts, with introductory, advanced, and group practice sessions.

Thanks to the diversity of its disciplines, its specialized supervision and its regular activities, Klub 303 constitutes an important place for the transmission of circus arts in Krakow.
