Modern Circus is a one year, full-time, preparatory Contemporary Circus program located in Nordfjordeid, Norway.


Do you like to be on stage? Work creatively and be physically active at the same time? Perhaps you see a future with further education in performing arts, circus or dance? This is the line for you!

It is also the line for those of you who have never performed anything on a stage or done any of the above, but who really want to try!

The circus line Movement X gives you an introduction to performing arts in the form of acrobatics, dance, drama and you get to immerse yourself in different circus disciplines such as handstand, juggling, trampoline and aerial acrobatics such as trapeze, ring/lyra, rope, tissue, Chinese pole.

Movement X is for the ones who love to express themselves physically. If you have a background in physical movement, such as dance, musical, gymnastics, parkour, diving or gymnastics; circus could become your new passion. Circus requires motivation, cooperation and dedication.

During this school year you will be challenged in many ways.You will discover and push yourself as well as strengthen your body and soul working dedicated towards a goal. You will learn in a creative process, how to conceptualise and express yourself with your new skill. Discovering your own physicality by mastering a circus discipline can be a great inspiration for your future life, no matter if you seek a career in performing arts or other fields.

In spring we travel by train and plane through Europe. We visit beautiful cities, circus schools and experience circus culture at its best.

Between the rough North Sea and the majestic Jostedalsbreen glacier lies our folk high school – nestled in what we fondly call our "Heartplace". Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer everything you need, small enough to feel like it is all yours.

With 11 exciting courses, you will have the chance to discover new sides of yourself, try things you never have done before – or delve deeper into what you already love. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about their fields and want you to feel the same excitement.

Maybe your dream is to stand on a stage – as a circus artist, singer, or actor? Maybe you want to immerse yourself in the Viking history? Maybe you want a horse of your own or to work with horses? Maybe you love creating art with your hands or want to give new life to your grandmother’s old dress?

Or maybe you simply want to experience the raw nature of Western Norway and learn to stand on your own two feet? At Fjordane Folk High School, you can do all this while making a difference. 💚

Throughout the year, we participate in projects that give back to others, fostering a warmer, more inclusive community. One highlight is our study trip to the Philippines, which is part of our "Project Philippines" initiative.

Join us in creating your best year, filled with growth, joy, and friendship.
