He's tumbled across the world with shows such as the Great Moscow Circus and Cirque du Soleil and in 2008 he'll be doing it again in regional Queensland. Russian-born Ludwig Schukin is an acrobat, aerialist and clown and will be one of the stars of Queensland Arts Council's Ontour inschools program. Schukin, a third generation performer, will be sharing his stories of life as a clown with Queensland kids and is one of large number of international performers signed for the arts council's 2008 season.

"When we program each year's season we consider the stories and experiences that the artists share with the students. The new season is especially packed with international artists, including those who have performed in Dubai, Indonesia, Poland, Canada and Russia," says the manager of Queensland Arts Council's schools program, Jim Vilé. "When brought together, they make an engaging, educational and wonderfully diverse collection of live arts experiences," he says.
