Welcome to the third Berlin Circus Festival Incubator!
The Incubator is a creative think tank focussing on exchange and support. In a protected setting, the participating artists are given the opportunity to present their creations to an audience consisting of organisers, professionals, spectators and performers, away from traditional presentation formats. This year's incubator will open with a presentation round of selected international guests and a session titled "Insights into the International Circus Scene". After a 5-minute presentation of every project and its current status, the artists can address questions and topics. The group will have 20 minutes to share resources and knowledge, address concepts and give constructive input. The exchange will be moderated, freely inspired by the Das Arts Feedback method. The Incubator will be held entirely in English. German speaking support is available for questions. Registration and purchase of a ticket are both required.
