circusnext Labs are back in 2023

The circusnext Labs are back this year! From August to November 2023, the authors of the 2024 pre-selected projects will be invited to work on their projects at the circusnext European partners.

National pre-selection committees are currently gathering across Europe to choose the pre-selected circusnext 2024 projects. The Labs are one of the main supports offered each year by circusnext to the pre-selected authors. 8 or 9 authors are gathered for 10 days to work on the writing of their project, under the mentorship of an experienced artist. 

The main goal of the Labs is to work collectively on each other’s project with a focus on circus writings and dramaturgy. It is also an opportunity for the authors to meet other artists and professionals, as each Lab takes place at the venue of a circusnext Platform member.
