Crossing Missions

Crossing Missions was aimed at the younger generation of organizers and producers in circus aspiring to work internationally. At the beginning of a career you rarely have the means or opportunity to attend the major international fairs. Here, the “decision makers of the future” among the organizers of circus in Sweden, Finland, and Canada, were invited to participate in the CINARS performing arts fair in Montreal and the Subcase circus fair at Subtopia.

The goal was to develop skills and enable participants to develop their own international networks. They were offered knowledge exchange with senior colleagues, meetings with international artists, saw performances and attended seminars.

The project received support from the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Canada Council for the Arts, and was carried out in collaboration between organizations in Sweden, Finland, and Canada.
