“THE NIMBLE ROGUE”
Mick Holsbeke is an internationally renowned creator, clown, mentor, and cultural advocate with two decades of experience performing on center stage and behind the scenes in production.
Lovingly coined “The Nimble Rogue,” Mick Holsbeke has ravenous appetite for the absurd and ridiculous. His unique perspective on clowning, exuberant physical acting, and circus expertise were developed at the prestigious École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal and, later, at the Hangar des Mines in France.
As a Clown & Circus Artist, Mick performed with international companies such as the Cirque du Soleil, Teatro Zinzanni, The Seven Fingers, Cirque Plume, and his solo show Moby Mick, bringing hilarity and comic innovation to hundreds of thousands of spectators around the world.
In 2024, Mick graduated from Seattle University with an MFA in Arts Leadership and launched The Clown Garage to empower individuals and teams to embrace creative play, improvisation, and vulnerability as sources of strength, leadership, and joy.
