Caitlan Maggs's biography

At a glance

  • Former Artistic Director at Cirque du Soleil
  • Author of Inside the CIRQUE of Creativity
  • International creativity speaker and workshop facilitator
Caitlan Maggs spent 20 years as Artistic Director at Cirque du Soleil, where she helped shape nearly every new show the world's largest contemporary circus produced. As one of only a handful of experts to contribute at the highest level across so many iconic Cirque productions, Caitlan led artistic coaching for world-class athletes, including Olympians, transforming them into performing artists. She is the author of the forthcoming book Inside the CIRQUE of Creativity and Creative Director of CrEaTiVe TeAmS, through which she delivers workshops and talks internationally. Caitlan's two decades inside one of the most creatively demanding environments on earth gave her a practical understanding of how creativity functions under pressure. She shows organisations how to build creative capacity across teams, drawing on methods she used to unite performers from over 50 countries who spoke different languages and brought vastly different perspectives. Her approach treats creativity not as an innate gift but as a broad skillset anyone can develop and apply, whether in boardrooms, classrooms, or operating theatres. Audiences leave her sessions with concrete tools for practising creativity daily, strategies for turning diverse viewpoints into original solutions, and a framework for building resilience through creative thinking. Her stories from behind the curtain at Cirque make these lessons vivid and memorable. Book Caitlan to give your audience the creative edge that powered one of the world's most inventive companies.
