ArtArea project

The School was founded in October 2013 by its director Inna Astvatsaturova and since that moment, the idea of beauty and uniqueness of circus arts started to spread around its students.

ArtArea project show is nine current aerialists who take part in different performances organized by our team. We perform in the circus and give classes. It’s important for us that those who give classes in our studio are acting aerialists able to share experiences with the students.

ArtArea project school provides education in performing circus arts (aerial arts, acrobatics, acting, etc.). Our students have different levels of skills, starting from beginners and intermediates to those who want to make the circus part of their lives.

The school is headed by director Inna Astvatsaturova
The teachers are part of the ArtArea project Show performing team.
The school also employs technical body staff who are responsible for the props, aerial apparatus, general safety in the classroom including urgent medical assistance if needed. Occasionally we invite performers from other schools and projects to share their experience with our students.
