Julene Renee
“I’m 37, and I have a been an acrobatic entertainer for 9 years, 4 of which were with Cirque Du Soleil. During this time, I have had the privilege to work with Julene Renee professionally as my artistic choreographer during the creation of Toruk: the First Flight. My time with Julene was so full of creative exploration and her physical skills match her creative talents seamlessly. A patient and open teacher, she guided us to an understanding of our purpose, character development, and pushed our growth into further levels of self expression. I respect Julene because she didn’t just provide theory in her teaching. Her natural abilities of movement and expression gave us much content to pull from as we grew as artists. She is always kind, only supportive, and the many months we had together was a special time. I would always jump at a chance to work with Julene again for she is someone who puts her entire soul into her work and it shows. I wish her much success in her new projects and send my gratitude and respect to her.”

“I am an Italian circus artist. During my working career I was fortunate to collaborate and above all to learn from choreographers and artists with a boundless talent. Among these, Julene, who with her passion for life and her athletic skills has been able to make the impossible possible. During the creation of the show by Cirque du Soleil ‘Toruk, The First Flight,’ Julene was the missing link, without her all of us artists would never have understood the quality of the movement and the philosophy of the movement. The show was deliberately inspired by James Cameron’s “Avatar” and Julene was one of the characters in the film. During intense weeks of work, she taught us how to move, how to listen, smell, express ourselves with sounds. It was not a simple choreography, it was a life lesson, a lesson to improve. Despite the distance and the commitments, Julene remains for me one of those points of guidance and strength, an example of a woman to follow.”
