The Performer
In 1998 Stephane was recruited by Cirque du Soleil for the Creation of La Nouba’s Powertrack Trampoline Act. He remained at the show for its entirety (1998-2017).
At La Nouba, with the help of great mentors, coaches, and directors such as Franco Dragone, Guy Laliberté, Daniel Cola, Dave Lebel, Rene Bazinet, Stefan Haves, Philippe Gaulier, and Debra Brown, Stephane transitioned from an athlete to an artist. Over his 19yr career, he not only expanded his acrobatic vocabulary but also developed his artistic skills to become one of the lead characters and clowns of the show; a “Les Cons”.
The Tumbler
Stephane’s acrobatic career started back in France, in Bois-Colombes. He was 13 years old when I discovered Tumbling and was a member of the French National Tumbling Team at age 19. Steph competed around the World in European and World Championship competitions representing France; his highest ranking was 3rd in the World.
The Acrobatic Coach
At the close of La Nouba, it was clear to Stephane that he wanted to continue to share his acrobatic and technical skills with elite athletes and artists across the World.
Known for his passion and having an exceptional eye for detail, he continues to support and develop artists and athletes, helping them to reach their full acrobatic potential.
“I love what I do, and I am grateful to have worked with and continue to work with some World-renowned companies, ie. Cirque du Soleil, Les 7 doigts, École Nationale de Cirque…” - Stephane
