How to apply

All positions have specific requirements for applicants.  For exact details, visit the  website. In general you will need to prepare a resume, photos and an audio or video demo.

What to show in your demo

Your  act in full. Up-close filming is more important than the quality of the filming itself. If possible, include a presentation facing the camera  in which you describe your background and why you wish to work with Cirque du Soleil. The demo should last between 10 and 20 minutes.

What happens after I send my application?

Cirque will acknowledge receipt of your application, and then notify you again once the material has been evaluated. One of the following responses will be sent: 1) You may be selected as a potential artist for an opening on one of Cirque's productions; 2) Cirque may need to see you in person during the year at an audition location closest to you. In this case, your file will be forwarded to the audition team, who will invite you to audition once the location is confirmed; or 3) Your application may not receive further consideration.

What is the audition process like?

Technical performance and artistic potential are assessed during an audition. Close attention is also paid to the individual's personality. Open-mindedness and generosity are the key words, and applicants should be prepared  to experiment. The audition  includes several elimination rounds. The company offers a competitive salary and an excellent personal insurance package. Artists who work with Cirque du Soleil generally sign contracts for two years.

Live your dream

Anything is possible. Don't hesitate, just apply.
