There is usually no activity in the training room in the morning, so it is quiet. From 12.00 to 15.15 there is open training for professionals. It can be agreed with you whether you are allowed to play music or not.  There are weekly courses from Mondays to Thursdays from 3.30 p.m. to around 10 p.m. The courses are easy to hear and have priority at this time. The event room can be used at a moderate volume during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are coming with a car or caravan, please let us know in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"&lt;!--[CDATA[mailto:coleitung@zirkusquartier.ch]]--&gt;\" style=\"border-radius:100px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Apply<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"\" class=\"sectionblock  inverted-color\" >\n  <div class=\"section-inner\">\n    <div class=\"container-lg\">\n      \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Swiss Circus Arts Network<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for premises that are suitable for your circus discipline to work on an idea or an emerging creation?<br\/><br\/>In collaboration with Pro Helvetia and a Switzerland-wide association of<br\/>venues, Swiss Circus Arts Network offers residencies for circus professionals.<br\/>This association currently includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/spot-sion.ch\/\">Le Spot Sion<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stationcircus.ch\/\">Station Circus Basel<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sudpol.ch\/\">S\u00fcdpol Lucerne<\/a> <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buehne-aarau.ch\/\">B\u00fchne Aarau<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zirkusquartier.ch\/en\/\">Zirkusquartier Zurich<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teatrodimitri.ch\/\"><strong>Teatro Dimitri Verscio<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, around five companies are selected by this network to reside for three to six weeks within<br\/>two years at at least two of the venues<br\/>and take part in a network meeting each November.<br\/>The aim is to strengthen networking in the local contemporary circus scene and to<br\/>improve research, rehearsal and production opportunities for circus creations<br\/>in Switzerland.<br\/><br\/>The residencies include free accommodation and rehearsal space as well as<br\/>a financial residency contribution.
