Croatian trapeze artist Petra Najman and French contemporary dancer Natacha Kierbel worked together in Ghent from 19 to 30 of June 2022. During a two-week residency, Petra and Natacha explored how to combine aerial circus disciplines with contemporary dance movements.
Organised by eight partner organisations and co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, CIRCUS WITHOUT CIRCUS is an interdisciplinary research project for artists from the circus field and from other artistic fields such as music, film, dance, theatre, design, architecture, visual arts, etc.
Eighteen emerging European artists, nine from the circus field and nine from other artistic fields, have been selected for a residency programme (2021—2023) aimed at sparking artistic exchange between disciplines by facilitating one-on-one research residencies. The overall aim is to facilitate cross-boundary research and to develop and explore cross-disciplinary working methods. The selected artists are invited to step out of their comfort zone, to let go of habits, give up control, and open up their artistic process in the encounter with another artist.
CIRCUS WITHOUT CIRCUS presentation in Split is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, the Kultura nova Foundation, the Creative Europe Desk Croatia and the City of Split.
Entrance is free of charge but the reservation is mandatory!
