Artistic Development within the Circus Discipline 1-3 ^expired

This course is for you who wishes to further develop artistically in your chosen circus discipline.
This course aims to facilitate a deeper consciousness and broadening of the student’s own creative methods and processes.

Course dates: 31 aug - 11 dec

As a student you will meet various “Impulse givers” almost every week for one or two sessions that will talk about and work with, their own methods and practices with the students. These sessions will sometimes be more theoretical and sometimes more physical. It will be your responsibility to take what you feel is relevant from these sessions into your own work.

A vital part of the course is for the students to “feed” off each other’s knowledge and enter into the spirit of sharing. A teacher will be available as a mentor for each student.

During the course, you work and train independently and take part in artistic supervision with a teacher. Within the framework of presentations and group discussions you get the possibility to develop your ability to provide constructive feedback to others in the context of artistic processes.

The course is divided into two modules. In the first module, you work out theme, aim and method for your artistic development work and in the second module you carry out and present the work.

You apply with the discipline of your own choice​:

We will prioritise the applications according to pedagogical and space resources

You can apply to course 1,2 or 3.
Course 2 builds on Cours 1, Cours 3 builds on Cours 2.
