Contemporary circus is a quite recent artistic discipline: it is blooming in Europe despite being faced with very diverse levels of recognition, an unequal distribution of higher education opportunities, and a lack of knowledge of the discipline as an art form in itself by public institutions and audiences. It thus suffers from a strong persistence of clichés (circus is physical tricks and risks taking, gymnastic and entertainment rather than an art) that hinders the development of audiences for contemporary writings. This situation leads to the following difficulties: – for contemporary circus emerging creators to showcase their artistic work to diverse audiences on a large territory, – for cultural operators to propose innovating and diverse artworks and to gather a large audience around these circus propositions. To tackle these issues, the CircusNext PLaTFoRM pursues the following objectives: We will gather a platform of members, representative of the diverse contexts existing in Europe, to offer a selection of emerging contemporary circus creators, defending an “auteur” circus, and offering artists opportunities to present their works (in progress and finalized) across Europe and beyond. Through our CircusNext quality label, we aim at reaching audiences, both general public and professionals of the cultural sector, engaging them via direct encounters and dialogues with artists and their work, and via innovative and digital campaigns to invite people to become live spectators of contemporary circus shows. |
