Date: Wednesday 11 of November Time: 12:00 – 13:00 Register here

Baltic Nordic Innovation Incubator aims to identify, support, and promote artistic innovation and risk-taking to develop relevant voices within our region and connect them with presenters and audiences on Nordic and European scales.

The project aims to develop the circus sector in the region by supporting emerging authors in their creation process, offering residencies, mentorship, and enhancing visibility in the region as well as in Europe. The idea is built upon the good practice of ‘circusnext’ – a European platform supported by Creative Europe, which supports emerging circus authors on a European level.

Nordic-Baltic Circus Innovation Incubator exists outside the circusnext platform, with an emphasis on supporting local Nordic and Baltic artists. It has been observed that the majority of emerging artists who are supported on a European level are from countries with more privileged contexts for circus. For this reason, the main actors of NB circus organisations are aiming to share their competencies and create new, safe, and sustainable opportunities for an innovative artistic approach.

For this info session, we will be joined by circus artist Marina Cherry, who will share her experiences. The session will take place online at lunch time, 12.00-13.30 (GMT+1). Learn more about the project here.
