ABOUT US

The KABOLO Movement Art Center (KABOLO MMM) commenced its operations in 2010 with the aim of promoting formal training for Hungarian acrobat artists on professional, sports, and hobbyist levels. In 2010, the first school system-based acrobat artist training in Hungary was initiated through a collaboration between the Talentum School in Tata and KABOLO MMM. Another school system-based formal training was launched in 2012 by the TANEXT ACADEMY Vocational High School in Budapest. Graduates from these institutions later integrated into the international circus arts community. In 2019, KABOLO MMM established its formal training institution, ATTRAKTÁR training facility in Budapest, focusing on the education of acrobatic genres (aerial acrobatics, acrobatics, balancing acts, juggling) at experience-based, hobby, and sports levels. Following the pandemic in 2022, the training program expanded to include the formation of competitive aerialists. In 2023, students from KABOLO MMM excelled in silk and trapeze categories at various Hungarian competitions, prompting the launch of its professional acrobat artist training.
