THE CIRCUS VILLAGE

The Circus Village, our mobil international festival and circus centre did the first pilot tour in 2007, and since The Circus Village has been rigged for 36 festivals from 2007-2019. Of that amount 2 of them have been outside Norway: a Nordic Circus Village (Volcano Circus Festival) in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2013, and The Circus Lab EEA project with a Circus Village in Viseu, Portugal, in 2015. All together more than 540 festival days over these years.

We create and produce festivals, performances, residencies, workshops, labs, community projects etc.

We lobby toward a governmental funded infrastructure of contemporary circus in Norway, and for the local, regional and national government to include circus in their cultural agenda.

We take part in international networks for development in the field of production, creation and presentation of contemporary circus.

We can offer 6 circus tents for a mobile festival and circus centre with a total audience capacity of 1200 in our 4 circus tents for creating and presenting performances. We also have spaces for residency, workshops, labs, seminars etc. Accommodation with kitchen available. We can contribute with an artistic experience in creating, producing and presenting performing art, circus art and new circus since 1982, and knowledge of the history and theory of circus and contemporary circus in general, also as part of the general development of the modern performing art - live art and contemporary performing art in special.
