Erin Ball & Maxime Beauregard
Both Erin and Maxime work as performers, coaches, choreographers, producers, accessibility consultants, and workshop facilitators. They are passionate advocates for Disability-led art and accessibility, striving to create more welcoming spaces and representation. They are the creators of an international course on Accessibility & Disability in Movement Practices.
Erin and Maxime travel internationally to share their knowledge, teach workshops, and captivate audiences with their performances. Their work strives to reach as many people as possible, bringing diverse perspectives and innovative artistry to the global stage. Over the last year, they have shifted how they travel and they now prioritize slow touring over the previous ways they had toured.
Erin is a white double below knee amputee and AuDHD human who has been doing circus for 16 years and teaching for more than 13. Erin prioritizes accessibility in circus arts because it’s something we are not typically taught and the hopes are for more Disabled people to be welcomed.
Maxime is a white francophone human who experiences chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and tics. They are a joyful Autistic+ person who has been doing circus for 3 years and has been fortunate to start learning through a lens of accessibility. Maxime is also a contemporary dancer.
