for artists

As Berlin Circus Festival, we are committed to creating sustainable conditions for contemporary circus artists. We provide residencies as part of cooperation projects and offer creative and production-relevant support for individual artists and companies. Our mission is to promote the visibility and quality of contemporary circus in Germany and Europe. With residencies, workshops, an incubator and work-in-progress showings, we want to contribute to the infrastructure of contemporary circus in Germany and offer artists new opportunities.

The festival program is carefully curated and unites the values and mission of the festival. If you would like to show your short piece or full-length creation as part of the festival programme, please send an email to josa[at]berlin-circus-festival.de with all relevant information about the piece and a video link. *Spam, mass mails and mails regarding individual acts will not be answered due to time and capacity constraints

​The festival program is usually finalised by January the same year. Please send your information in early autumn.
