Ell Circo D'ell Fuego is an open house for young artists.
We provide support them with support on different levels.
So they can find their way in the cultural landscape.
And, above all, so they can do their thing there.
We invite a circus company to join us for a period of two years, during which we offer support and work together to consider substantive topics.
We provide time and space for thorough artistic research and an extensive creative process.
Shorter, defined periods for artists with a clear vision and concrete ideas who are looking for creative space.
A formula with a focus on circus technical precision and/or a creative approach to technique. Also for performing artists.
Since January 1, 2026, we have been officially recognized as a workshop! This allows us to continue building our circus haven for artists of all kinds. A vibrant environment where they can moor (again and again). To learn, to create, to connect with each other. So that they can get the best out of themselves every time they pass through.
How are we going to do that? By offering artists the opportunity to grow sustainably in their creative process and take control of their circus careers.
To this end, we have developed several new residency formulas that we will be rolling out in the coming months.
A Springplank (springboard) is not what you would call a stable surface.
It serves one very specific purpose: launching Springplank students are 18+ and choose to further their orientation from circus.
During an in-depth summer course, beginners and professionals will work together every day for four weeks. They take hold of their sense of humor. They learn to look at each other, give each other feedback, and work together toward an open workout in front of an audience.
