Workshop

New Circus

Circus in which floor acrobatics and dance come together, dropping balls
is part of it and every new trick is a step into the unknown.
Doing Circus is not a course, not a training program. It is a space. For you,
for discovering, feeling circus and trying out what else is possible.

At Doing Circus, participants experience an intensive day full of creative impulses and joint training on four Sundays. The focus is on combining movement, scene and expression. Together with professional artists and trainers, participants not only learn technical skills, but also explore scenic design, dramaturgy and choreography.
In addition to learning new circus techniques, the aim is to turn movement into ideas. Small scenes, choreographies and transitions are created through experimentation, coaching and trial and error.
The four Sundays are supplemented by peer-to-peer sessions in which participants have the opportunity to train together, exchange ideas and develop together.

And at the end?
On the weekend of the "Zeit für Zirkus" festival on 16.11.2025 (11 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
it's also time for us: spotlight on, pulse up, stage free! For everything that has been created
, what has been rehearsed, what is important and what is to be shown
