The Contemporary Circus Manufactory is a free, three-month educational program designed for young people, introducing them to the artistic language of contemporary circus and nurturing their artistic and performance skills through circus disciplines, contemporary theater, and dance.
To keep this inspiring program alive, the Cirkusfera organization is launching a campaign to provide young circus enthusiasts with opportunities to grow and develop. Your support will enable the program to expand and secure the necessary conditions for their work.
Over the past eight years, more than 100 participants have successfully completed the program, with most continuing their careers in various performing arts fields.
This year, with the city budget failing to provide funding, the program’s mentors called upon former participants, who had graduated from the Factory in previous years and continued their artistic journeys. They eagerly stepped up, deciding to continue the project under mentorship and take on the roles of instructors themselves.
We believe fortune favors the brave, and this has proven true once again. After announcing the call for new participants, the program received the highest number of applications in its history. A remarkable 50 young individuals, aged 15 to 30, signed up—four times the capacity the project has managed so far.
We would never turn anyone away, so this year, as always, all applicants were accepted. The program has begun, and over the next few months, participants will hone their skills in aerial and partner acrobatics, balancing, and object manipulation.
From young people, the aspirations grow. Some of the goals include securing larger and better rehearsal spaces, preparing for a public presentation in February to showcase their progress, paying fees to former participants now serving as instructors, and acquiring additional equipment to meet the unexpected surge in participants. Help us turn these plans into reality—every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
Support young circus artists, lovers of performance, and passionate teachers. They warmly invite you to their showcase event, where they will demonstrate their hard work and skills. The exact date will be announced later.
