On April 26, Forum on the Integration of Technology and Innovation in Acrobatics (Circus Arts) took place at Xinghai Conservatory of Music in Guangzhou.

　　Seven experts from China, Canada, Australia and Brazil delivered themed speeches. Pavel Kotov drew on his 20-year Cirque du Soleil career to analyze AI’s functions and risk management in circus creation, operation and marketing; Jasmine Straga reviewed the millennia-long connection between acrobatics and technology, noting technology’s core goal is to strengthen human communication; Dr. Jia Meina illustrated how stage technology transforms acrobatics from skill displays into emotional theatrical productions; Zhong Zhigang shared practical cases of magic-tech integration and highlighted the unique warmth of live performances amid AI development; Wei Debang and Xia Yuanyuan explored digital innovation paths to modernize traditional acrobatic creations; Liang Hongjun discussed integrated art-tech practices for stage production and cultural tourism.

　　The President of the China Acrobats Association Bian Faji summarized that AI fuels all links of acrobatics while human emotion and soul are irreplaceable. Technology should always center on artistic essence, narrative expression and performance safety.

　　The forum showcased innovative works: acrobats performing alongside intelligent robots, IP show featuring embodied robot Lingxi X2, and digital acrobatic program supported by motion capture, AI music and panoramic sound. Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe, Shanghai Circus School and Zhiyuan Innovation Technology signed an “AI plus Acrobatics” strategic cooperation agreement, offering a replicable model for the industry's intelligent transformation.
