Weaving a web together : developing a Circus Hub in South Sweden

In our feasibility study Cirkus Syd conducted in 2022 one result was that the new festival should become a hub and meeting place for professionals. What would you want to see as a strong exciting and essential meeting place at the festival in the coming years? 

Come join a facilitated process of exploration to contribute to creating an inclusive motor for change and development in Swedish Circus. Through a facilitated collective process we would like to give a voice to all interested artists and professionals in the circus world toward making the South Sweden Circus Festival a complementary contribution to existing resources by developping approaches that don’t exist anywhere else. The first step is sharing ideas and experiences. 

This workshop will be led By Anna Ljungqvist & Daniel Gulko, Board Members of Cirkus Syd. 

Open to all Circus artists and professionals. Register by Monday 4.9
