The aim of the current research was to investigate the knowledge transmission process at institutionalized centers of circus schooling. Two institutions from the city of Goiania were chosen to compose the field of research, namely Circo Laheto and Circo Basileu França. Laheto is a private institution opened in the year 2000 and functions as a social circus. Basileu is part of the Instituto Tecnológico de Goiás em Artes Basileu França (Technologic Institute of Goiás in Arts Basileu França), originally set up as Escolinha de Artes Veiga Valle (School of Arts Veiga Valle) in 1967 as the first public school destined to the teaching of the arts in the state of Goiás. The former, besides teaching children and youngsters, offered a Professional Course in Circus in the years 2016-2017 while the latter has been offering, on intermittent basis, 3-year length certificate programs in circus since 2002. The research seeks to comprehend, by analyzing the individuals and their practices, the experiences they went through in this artistic formation set. As methodology, interviews were conducted with teachers, students and coordinators; classes and student-developed performances were watched, and the author herself took part in the researched formation processes. Therefore, the process by which new artists are formed and its pedagogical elements were investigated in the Brazilian Midwest context in order to identify and discuss the proceedings employed by the use of propositions which may contribute to the formation of circus artists.
