Paul & Sandie

SANDIE BRISCHLER

Sandie is a french artist, performer and teacher. Originally she comes from gymnastics and aerial acrobatics. She became a multidisciplinary artist and a researcher between several artistic fields, and she performed many times with aerials, dance and visual arts, on the international scene.

She was teaching aerial acrobatics also in different countries for several years, especially aerial silk. Later she developps her work in a more experimental way with aerials, especially in original creations with multiropes. She works for several theater, dance and performances productions, in Europe and on the international scene.

She’s practicing partner acrobatics too since more than ten years, and now she works with Paul as regular partner since a few years.

PAUL GRIFFIOEN

Paul has practised acrobatics since 1986 and has studied with the Como
Brothers and the Osmani’s. Both are key historical figures in the circus
world and have performed all over the world. For the past 35 years Paul
has run acrobatic courses in Rotterdam, Holland and since about 30 years
he is more and more teaching on acrobatic festivals and private
workshops throughout Europe and beyond.

Except of that he performed in a lot of countries with several circus shows like Megaman and Memo, De Sardini’s, Duo Ravioli and at the moment with Glorious Bodies.

He specialised himself in Icarian games, hand to hand tricks and throwing elements like cascades and courbets. Because for him body-control, feeling the balance and getting the right timing in tempo’s are three main elements in partner acrobatics, he is often focusing on this in his workshops.
