Camille Judic
Camille Judic’s (France, 24 years old) first idea for her graduation performance was to draw her inspiration from Freud’s theory of the unconscious, playing on the balance between the id, the ego, and the superego. “Through work and experimentation, the concept evolved. Circus is a living art form. I kept the idea of different personalities, but I wanted it to tell the audience a story.” Camille started out quite late, taking a circus module at her college in Vannes, in Brittany. “I started out with aerial silks. The first time I was onstage, I felt transformed. My body buzzed with every movement.” After attending the ACaPA in Tilburg, in Holland, she chose aerial straps. “The equipment leaves your body a lot of room to move. It’s just an attachment on your wrists. It’s a tool that gives you a lot of control from the ground. It’s also very physical, like aerial dance. Because I repeat the movements every day, I no longer need to concentrate. They are like any other movement for me. The technique is just a tool for conveying other things.” She is in no hurry, optimistically planning her future, step by step. In July, she is running classes at a festival of aerial dance, after which she will be directed by a Dutch choreographer, along with another aerial straps artist. As well as performing, Camille also used her sewing machine to make her stage costume and those of six of her classmates. “It’s something I really enjoy. When I’m too old and my body has had enough, I’ll set up as a costumier!”
