We, the Dramatic Fields project partners and participants, are very much looking forward to creating together with you a place of listening, collaborative exploration and discussion on the field of contemporary circus dramaturgy. The content of this seminar has been formed in collaboration with the participants of the project and is based on the topics and ideas the participants brought up. In this seminar we concentrate especially on listening: attentive, critical and appreciative listening of each other.

Dramatic Fields is organised by Baltic Nordic Circus Network (BNCN) partners. The project explores together with the participating emerging circus artists the structures and practices of meaning making in circus, ie. circus dramaturgy. The project consists of this online kick-off seminar that is open to all and two workshops with the project participants.

The registration deadline is Friday 22.10.2021.
If you have any questions about the project or the seminar, please email dramaturgy@cirkussyd.com
