Meg Poulet
A gymnast from age four, Meghane found the right blend of acrobatics, discipline and artistic expression by discovering circus at the age of seven. This adventure started in Dallas, Texas, where she grew and lived until the age of 13 before returning to France, her birth place, to discover new and endless possibilities. At the age of 15, she auditioned for the National Circus School of Châtellerault, where she was accepted into the three year high school program in circus arts. There she began to truly develop her creativity, maturity and perseverance. She then fled to Quebec City to join l’École de Cirque de Quebec’s professional formation, where she teamed up with Owen and discovered the life of a flyer in various disciplines. As of spring 2017, Meg will be a graduate of ECQ with a DEC diploma in circus arts.
Owen Winship
With a focus in hand to hand, Owen is a generalist with skill and interest in an array of disciplines, ranging within and beyond the bounds of circus. He grew up in Victor, Idaho, USA, a small town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. An avid skier from a young age, he learned balance, reflex and a distinct interest in engaging with his surroundings; much of the basis for his work as a circus artist. After four summers spent touring with Circus Smirkus, he moved to Quebec City to join l’ecole de cirque de Quebec’s professional formation, where he teamed up with Meg. As of spring 2017, Owen will be a graduate of ECQ with a DEE diploma in circus arts.
