International Chinese Pole Convention

Since 2015, under the impulse of Benjamin Lissardy, acrobat and researcher in Chinese pole, the Bivouac Company organizes in partnership with the Circus School of Bordeaux the International Convention of Chinese Pole. About fifty participants from all over the world meet every year. Three days rich in sharing and research around master classes, a laboratory of experimentation, a conference, an exhibition and a festive closing evening open to the public.

On this occasion, the company organizes conferences around the experimental apparatus and exhibitions, artists are invited to participate.

The last edition of the International Chinese Pole Convention took place on October 10, 11 and 12, 2024. To bring the event to a joyous conclusion, we organized a highlight open to all: Nuit d’éclat, on Saturday October 12, featuring shows (Cairn – Marie Tribouilloy and Lemniscate, our 2023 creation), circus workshops, a Chinese pole jam, live music, a DJ set and much more!

The International Chinese Pole Convention 2025 will be held on September 18th, 19th and 20th at the Bordeaux Circus School. Pre-booking (free) is now open, so register now on our HelloAsso ticketing service.
