Mr. Alex Sijm
Alex Sijm became an advisor of the Fédération Mondiale du Cirque in 2020. In this function he will work closely with executive director, Zsuzsanna Mata, organising seminars and conferences, among other things during the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival.
He (1976) always dreamed of becoming a circus director. After graduating in business management in 1995 Alex started his circus carrier. For several years he worked for the Dutch National Circus Herman Renz and the international television company Endemol.
In 2001 he started to work as an independent producer and founded his own company: “Impresariaat Sijm”. He managed to build up very soon three different annual circus productions. Employed dozens of workers and the programs were seen by more than 100.000 visitors. In 2018 he decided to go for a different orientation and started an academic course to become a trainer and coach.
In the beginning of 2020, just before the “Corona” crisis he successfully sold part of his company.
From 2021 Alex Sijm plans to give lectures and training sessions for the corporate sector. In cooperation with several non-profit organizations he continues to create circus shows focusing more on the social character of the production, like: the famous Gay Circus Amsterdam and the Circus for (health) Care.
