Justine Arden

Justine Arden is an international performer living in France, coming from the worlds of circus and physical theatre. She grew up in Rome, to Australian/Belgian parents, but moved to Paris in 2011. She found her artistic inspiration there and specialized in aerial acrobatics, clowning, and artistic direction.

A graduate from the École Jacques Lecoq, She is constantly exploring new performative languages in collaboration with artists of varying skill sets – circus, physical theatre, dance and live music.

Her research is focused on finding unique styles that spring from an artist’s inspiration. With this vision in mind, She now co-direct a young company, Gokaï. She gathers acrobats, dancers and musicians for both street and indoor theatre shows touring in France.
She also regularly helps directing other artists’ shows, acrobatic acts and even live music concerts.

She also performs and coaches for many other companies, going from large scale productions such as Cirque du Soleil, Disneyland Paris, La Folie Douce, Parc Astérix, to local productions and cabarets such as Minuit Production, as well as music bands like the world music group Medz Bazar.
