Supporting artists’ professional development
As part of its mission to support emerging circus authors, circusnext offers targeted short online training cycles, thematic masterclasses, and peer exchange sessions.
This support enables artists to:
- Explore the landscape of creation and performance venues, as well as funding opportunities across Europe
- Prepare their communication strategies for potential programmers during professional networking events
- Engage with and reflect on concepts of sustainability and care, and their integration into the creative process
- Exchange and share common challenges
- Research and experiment collectively with writing processes around a given theme
Upcoming trainings:
- Research and writing laboratory with Eleonora Jimenez – author, director, performer, and circus educator – Open to the students of l’Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Châtellerault
