BIO

As an elite athlete part of the Belorussian Men's National Team in Sport Acrobatics, Boris discovered a bigger passion for coaching than performing. Having graduated from the Byelorussian State University with a degree in Physical Education and Sports specializing in coaching, he immigrated to Canada in 1978 where he worked his way through the ranks to become Head Coach of the Canadian National Trampoline and Tumbling team. In 1993, Cirque du Soleil approached him to consult on a proposed tumbling act for its Las Vegas show Mystere. It soon became clear that Cirque needed to capitalize on Boris' extensive acrobatic knowledge, know-how and expertise. As current Director of Performance Design and Development, Boris directs his team in providing consultation, expertise and delivery of integral and critical components of the company’s creation, production and performance works in the fields of acrobatic content, performances, choreography, equipment as well as rigging.
