Who are we?
Hello! We are Clara Laurent and Lilyclaire Major and together we are Vol au Vent, a Korean teeterboard duo. As two of the few women in teeterboard, we are excited to share our vision of what this discipline can be!
Clara Laurent
Clara grew up doing artistic gymnastics before turning to circus as a hobby at the end of high school. After falling in love with it, she went to the National Circus School of Montreal, graduating in 2021 as an aerial straps specialist. She returned to the NCS in spring 2023 in order to participate in Vol au Vent's graduation act.
Lilyclaire Major
From a very young age, Lilyclaire toured in a family show with her parents. She began competitive trampoline at the age of 10 becoming a national champion in the 2016 Canadian Championships. She transferred her abilities into performing via teeterboard at the National Circus School of Montreal, where she also developed an affinity for German Wheel and created a fluid, playful and skilled routine to add to her repertoire.
What do we do?
Highlight Reel 2024
Teeterboard is one of the most dangerous circus disciplines, but through trust and communication we soar through the air. Using humor and lightness, we create an atmosphere of connection, vulnerability, and support for each other, and offer a breath of fresh air to the audience.
As women, we seek to bring feminity and lightness to teeterboard without compromising the impressive nature of the discipline...
...often with a
side of silliness!
