circusnext |
circusnext is the circus platform project supported by the European Commission which gathers 24 member venues from 15 European countries. They cooperate together to identify emerging authors who generate unique and original circus creations, and to support them in the making and circulation of their works.
Over the years, circusnext has become in Europe an essential programme for the development of contemporary circus. The supported artists have distinguished themselves by the richness and originality of their aesthetic approaches, as well as their appetite to experiment.
Berlin Circus Festival within circusnext
As a platform member, the festival offers annual residencies, realizes work-in-progress presentations and includes the final pieces in its programme. As a representative of Circus Next in Berlin, we inform young artists about the potential of the program and support them in their applications.
The mission
Identify emerging circus artists in Europe who develop a unique approach as authors and an original artistic vision.
Accompany these artists and encourage their mobility abroad, promote their creations and create the conditions for the existence of an encounter of their works with the audience.
Develop and promote the circusnext label, both in the cultural sector and with the audience.
Raise awareness on the diversity of contemporary writings against the clichés that circus suffers from (physical and gymnastic prowess, entertainment).
