Residencies
Zirkus ON residencies take place in the respective premises of the creation alliance’s partners. These partners are located nationally at different locations in Germany and Eastern France.
You can find all residency places here .
Accessibility at respective locations varies depending on the institution and festival.
Some residency sites may not be suitable for a creation phase in 2026 and 2027 due to limited accessibility. Residency periods and locations can be adapted to the project according to the requirements and conditions stated in the artists’ Access Riders.
Mentoring
Usually, mentoring takes place via digital meetings and on-site at Zirkus ON events. Mentors, or rather their manner of mentoring can be adapted according to requirements and conditions stated in the Access Rider of the respective project.
Presentations
Zirkus ONboard will take place on June, 8th or 9th 2026 in the Pfefferberg Theater in Berlin.
Zirkus ONwork will take place on September, 24th and 25th 2026 at Tollhaus Karlsruhe during ATOLL Festival on the site of "Alter Schlachthof".
As for the presentations, conditions stated in the Access Rider will be taken into account. If these cannot be met in the desired way, alternative solutions to meet respective needs will be found.
Knowledge Transfer
Zirkus ON Knowledge Transfer is a growing toolbox open to projects, alliance partners and the circus scene.
Unfortunately, not all building blocks are completely accessible at the moment. If individual elements are not accessible for Zirkus ON projects of the current edition, we will do our best to find individual solutions.
Networking formats with the circus scene
Within the creation programme, networking with the circus scene can take place at Zirkus ON events. As reoccurring formats, Zirkus ON also invites interested projects to pitching sessions, trade fair visits/trade fair presentations (Internationale Kulturbörse Freiburg) and networking events (BUZZ, Circostrada Network).
Zirkus ON networking formats can be designed according to the information in the Access Rider.
