With Zirkus ON, we have created a model instrument to professionalise creative working conditions in Germany.

 

Each year, three selected projects receive exemplary support for a two-year period in order to bring their projects to life.

 

The Zirkus ON programme deliberately concentrates on the artists' creation process, from the start of rehearsals to the final presentation.

 

The main focus lies on getting to know the circus performers, connecting them to professional structures at an early stage and sharing knowledge and expertise during this process.

​

The Zirkus ON programme is supported by an alliance of 19 alliance partners from across Germany.​
