About

Originally from Quebec City, Julie spent the last 22 years traveling from one country to another offering her performances at the world’s greatest events, European variety cabarets, Cirque du Soleil and different circuses. To date, she has performed in over 36 countries and has received four prestigious awards: Wuqiao China, 2007 - Budapest Hungary, 2008 - Quebec, Canada 2014 & Berlin, Germany 2016. (See details below). 

 

Having gained international recognition in the field of the circus, today large companies call upon her frequently to take part in various special or corporate events as an artist. She also is a booking manager and artistic director for the special events department of Machine de Cirque, and acts as a consultant for special projects at Cirque du Soleil. In addition, she teaches artistic career management and has recently developed a new avant-garde performance blending two disciplines: Hand-to-Hand and Acro Yoga.

 

Living her life rolling around at a fast pace while doing acrobatic tricks, Julie is a world acclaimed artist and mentor.

​

Apart from her achievements as an artist which you can see below, Julie has worked on projects such as:

  • Private consultant for Cirque du Soleil;

  • Guest speaker, Arts and Crafts Center and Professional Training Centers;

  • Acrobatic and Technical Advisor, Ex-Machina / Robert Lepage;
