This research is to explore the direction of circus education in Korea by the case study of
Circus Professional Training Program, which was held by Seoul Foundation Arts and Culture for
the first time in Korea. The study was conducted via interviews of three participants who
completed Circus Professional Training Program to comprehend their experiences of participating
the programs in Korea and France.
Result of this study revealed that the participants were able to set their goals to jump up, and
expand their movements through the program that was held in Korea. Experiencing the great
cirus world in France, they showed eagerness to go back and get more training. Despite of these
positive effects, they have faced a difficulty how to continue their learning and goals for the circus
in the absence of circus facilities and places to practice. The system that they can take the next
step is not ready yet, either. There should be some solutions to these problems. In order to
develop the circus education, they hoped that Seoul Foundation Arts and Culture continues circus
education with consistency. In addition to that, many national and circus educational
organizations should be activated to establish the circus professional educational system.
