Corentin was born in 1994 in Auch. He grew up in the peaceful region of Gers, went to school every day, teased his two sisters, and practiced athletics and handball from an early age. One day, his parents—who felt he was too socially withdrawn—decided to enroll him in Pop Circus, an amateur circus school in Auch. There, he discovered circus disciplines such as juggling, Russian swing, flying trapeze, and also learned the values of sharing and community living.
At 18, despite his parents’ skepticism, he decided to pursue circus arts. He “landed” at the National School of Circus Arts in Rosny-sous-Bois (ENACR) in 2012 and joined a Chinese pole collective. However, the teaching staff advised him to either repeat the year, change discipline, or even consider leaving.
With his family increasingly worried, he chose to repeat the year and tried aerial rope for a few months—without much conviction. He eventually left ENACR and joined the Bordeaux Circus School, which welcomed him and his specialty—acrobatics—with open arms. There, he made significant progress, and this supportive environment reignited his passion for circus.
He was later admitted, in 2015, to the entrance selection of the National Centre for Circus Arts (CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne. A well-earned victory after several challenging years.
Today, Corentin focuses his practice on acro-dance and trampoline.
