What is Esko?

What is Esko? Espoo School of Circus and Theatre Esko is the largest school of performing arts in Finland, our operational units are located in diferent parts of Espoo. We teach Theatre and Circus Arts as a hobby for people of all ages. We have over 600 students and in experience-filled and interactive small groups they all gain both mental and physical skills. Everyone has the opportunity to learn, produce ideas, and create something new.

Circus and theatre change lives

Circus and theatre suit everyone. They are forms of art that enrich life with new skills, friends, physical fitness, and mental well-being. Esko draws children, adults, and senior citizens away from digital gadgets into a reality filled with joy of living where everything is truly possible. Since 1999 our mission has been to teach two marvellous and empowering fields of art with iron-clad expertise and great love. In our school, you can acquaint yourself with both of these arts at the same time during Circus-Theatre classes. All our students also get a taste of the other art form during their studies.
