Marius Gremaud

Circus artist and teacher. I know how to stand on my hands, and I know how to teach it.

I graduated in circus arts, specializing in handstand, in Tilburg (NL) in 2022. I then trained as a teacher in Fribourg. Today I teach a clear method to balance on your hands.

My path

From Fribourg to Tilburg, and back.

From age 7

The circus comes to my village

A circus school settled in my village near Fribourg. I started training as soon as it arrived and stayed for nearly 13 years, alongside school.

2017–2022

Circus arts in Tilburg

Five years at the Academy of Circus and Performance Art in Tilburg, the Netherlands. A bachelor's degree in circus arts, with handstand as my main discipline.

2025

Teacher training in Fribourg

I wanted to teach handstand as well as I could, so I trained as a teacher at the University of Teacher Education in Fribourg. I graduated in 2025.

How I teach

An artist who knows how to teach.

Circus school taught me what a solid handstand needs. Teacher training taught me how people learn: one step at a time, with clear goals, until they can practice on their own.

Everyone can find balance. What's often missing is the right method. Mine rests on three pillars.

  • Precise exercises. Every exercise has a goal, in a step-by-step progression. Your body is prepared and your wrists are protected.
  • Understanding. You know why you do each exercise, so you can keep training on your own.
  • Confidence. You learn to kick up, hold and come down safely. Fear fades and the fun takes over.
On stage

The stage is where it started.

I create and perform handstand acts that mix strength, softness and theatre. Résilience closed my bachelor's in Tilburg. On Ice was created for Solsti-Cirque.
