CRASH COURSE FOR NEW ENTRANTS IN THE CIRCUS SECTOR
© Circuscentrum
New to the circus sector? Have you just graduated as a circus artist, switched from another field, or do you have an artistic, business, educational or communication background but little knowledge of the circus world? Circuscentrum is here to help you get started. We’re offering a one-day crash course to introduce you to the diverse landscape of the circus sector — and the many opportunities it holds. How do you apply for subsidies? Where can you find additional funding? Which spaces are available for creation and performance? We’ll explore all of this and more during an intensive, informative day. Cultuurloket will also join us to explain how they support artists and organisations.
