The En Piste portal is administered by the En Piste team, the national circus arts association, whose offices are located at 1450 City Councillors Street, Suite 410, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2E5, Canada. This portal is a hub of information and resources for circus enthusiasts, both in Canada and internationally. It is primarily intended for members of the association, all professionals in the field, and the wider community.
It presents, among other things, En Piste’s continuing education programming and the events organized by the group throughout the year. Users will need to register on the site and create a profile to register for a training session or event for the first time. On subsequent visits, users will be prompted to log in to register.
It also allows users to join the group or renew their membership within their profile. Members in good standing can complete and submit their professional profile to the directory, which is accessible to all users, to promote their skills.
Community members can also submit news they wish to share through the Circus News section of the website. To do so, users or members must submit the content to communication@enpiste.qc.ca. Following a review of the submitted content, the communications team will publish the information on the portal for the benefit of the entire community.
