Description:

In this time of unprecedented crisis for our community, TOHU stands firm in its support for contemporary circus. The MICC team is busy conceptualizing a pivot of the MICC market towards an ongoing online program designed to continue the MICC’s work to develop, sustain, and invigorate artistic creation and touring for contemporary circus. The Digital MICC will offer iterations of the core components of the in-person MICC - networking, virtual artist pitches, small-group meetings, panels and relevant workshops.

TOHU is therefore seeking proposals for its online Tour de piste activity. The virtual Tour de Piste events will be monthly online sessions in which contemporary circus artists and companies are invited to pitch their shows and/or concepts to an audience of venue and festival programmers. Projects will now be accepted on a rolling basis, with a monthly selection process. Submitting and presenting a project is free. There is no fee to participate.
