Circ-Exchange Exchange
The next Circ-Exchange is here!
The Circ-Exchange Evening takes place on one evening during the very first Circ-Exchange Week and aims to bring together established and emerging circus artists.
The aim is for up-and-coming circus and physical theater artists and established circus professionals to share their different perspectives, experiences and working methods, get to know each other and discuss important topics together.
The following questions will be the focus of the discussion round: What structures help to take the first steps in the Swiss circus scene?
What do aspiring circus and physical theater artists need today?
What does the circus scene need in general?
What are the topics we want to discuss across generations?
The discussion will be moderated by Luisa Schmitz and Caro Wuttke. They collect shared resources, ideas and topics during the discussion and bring productive questions to the table.
Circ-Exchange is for all circus and physical theater artists who are interested in exchange and discussion, whether established or still at the very beginning of their career. Circ-Exchange is free of charge and is supported by m2act.
In the afternoon before the Circ-Exchange Evening, the Production Café with artFAQ will take place.
