Mini Circus – Mini Art Foundation

Mini Circus – Mini Art Foundation is a Bulgarian organization dedicated to the teaching, practice, and development of contemporary circus arts. Based in Sofia, it combines a training center, educational workshops, social circus projects, and artistic events.

The Mini Art Foundation was created in 2017 to promote contemporary circus in Bulgaria and make its disciplines accessible to diverse audiences. It develops activities for children, teenagers, adults, and families, as well as educational projects for people in vulnerable situations.

The Mini Circus center, located in the Orlandovtsi district of Sofia, hosts training and education activities. Its educational program has notably offered courses in juggling , individual and duo acrobatics , hand balancing , unicycle , trapeze , balance ball and rola-bola .

Learning is based on a progressive and participatory approach. The exercises help develop coordination, strength, flexibility, balance, concentration, and creativity. Group practice also encourages mutual support and self-confidence.

Mini Art Foundation places great importance on social circus . It uses circus techniques as tools for non-formal education, communication, and inclusion. Its projects are aimed particularly at children and young people who face difficulties accessing cultural and sporting activities.

The organization is associated with the Sofia Unicycle Club , which helps to introduce and promote unicycling. It also offers circus arts workshops and training courses for education and social work professionals.

In January 2026 , Mini Circus announced new aerial acrobatics training sessions for children, led by Illya Rogoulin , an instructor from Infinity Artist Club. In February of the same year , the foundation organized a practical training course in Sofia focusing on social circus methods.
