Southern Sweden Circus Festival
2023 -
Cirkus Syd, in collaboration with Malmö City and Lund’s Municipality, is developing a new biannual circus festival. The festival’s aim is to act as a catalyst for a bigger and broader development of the circus arts in Malmö and Lund, and on a regional level.
In September 2023 we gave Skåne a tease of what is to come with a 4 day kick-off. This work was all about learning and developing a sustainable and strategic foundation for the festival's continued life and growth into a Skåne-wide festival
The premier of Southern Sweden Circus Festival will happen in September 2024, and we are looking for collaborators!

Circosonic
2021 - 2023
Circosonic is a CS project under the Circus Thinkers Platform where we explore circus as sound dimension.
The circus' sonic world is rich and varied, from subdued footfalls on sawdust to the roar of the crowd. The sound of the traditional circus is something most of us can imagine. But how does contemporary circus sound?
MAXI at Stenkrossen
2021 - 2023
Lunds kommun is supporting Cirkus Syd during 2021-2023 to keep growing our networking platform for international research, development and innovation based in Lund at Stenkrossen - via Lund municipality's 3 year incubator programme for art, culture and innovation; MIDI.
This follows on from the work on our 1 year MIDI project which looked at organisational management and legal structure and explores at possible ways for associations/organisations to be global and democratic without compromising sustainability and quality.
