Fresh Circus #2, 12 – 13 avril 2012: Call for contributions
Circostrada Network, European platform for information, research and professional Exchange in street arts and circus co-ordinated by HorsLesMurs, is now at work organising the second edition of Fresh Circus, European seminar on the sustainable development of circus arts. After the great success of the first meeting in 2008, we would like to invite you once again to come and discuss the current situation of the sector and to define the necessary conditions for its positive development.
In order to facilitate the approach and the treatment of issues linked to our sector, the members of Circostrada Network propose to articulate the seminar around ten thematic working sessions. Within this framework, in order to take into consideration the diverse realities of Europe, we are proposing that artists and companies, circus arts professionals, and more generally those from the performing arts field should send contributions ahead of time in order to share their experiences and difficulties, to make known examples of good practice, and to help formulate concrete propositions that will improve the situation of the sector and reflect how to best position contemporary circus in the face of transnational issues.
The questionnaires, based on the ten themes that are going to be discussed during the Fresh Circus seminar, are accessible online until the 15th March 2012.
We would be very grateful for your participation in answering our questions and sharing your ideas with us: your contributions will fuel the debates during the seminar and allow us all to draw up collective recommendations that will be put forward to local, regional, national and European institutions. You can fill in this questionnaire in French or English.
If you’d like to prepare your answers before sending them you can download the questionnaire here. Take part in the call for contributions now! Go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/freshcircus2en
The programme of Fresh Circus #2 will be online from the 1st of Febuary onwards. You can register for free, but places are limited. More information about Fresh Circus #2 and its partners here.
