In contemporary circus the reflection of working structures is becoming an increasingly prevalent conversation. This year’s Circ-Exchange Week has it\u2019s focus on fair practice in contemporary circus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week offers a space to understand and learn practical tools to reflect on the culture of communication, to make artistic processes transparent and accessible, and to evaluate power dynamics. It will be led by Gaia Vimercati. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Nov. 21, 15.00 – 16.30, a public moment (1.5 hours) will take place at the end of the Circ-Exchange Week, to which friends, colleagues and other interested parties are invited to enter the studio. The sharing is neither an open rehearsal nor a finished performance, but a space of encounter and exchange between the artists and the visitors, which is negotiated and designed jointly by the artists during the research week. Es ist eine ungew\u00f6hnliche Gelegenheit, einen Einblick in den kreativen Prozess zu erhalten und sich mit den Fragen auseinanderzusetzen, die die k\u00fcnstlerische Forschung jenseits der Erwartungen an eine Show als “fertiges Produkt” bewegen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
