Practical information

For whom?

For (Belgian) circus artists or companies who want to establish themselves (again) in Belgium as ‘creators’ and have recently graduated in a Higher Circus Arts program at a college, university, academy or conservatory. We limit ourselves to this target group because the administrative support we offer is grafted onto local regulations.

When?

• Kick-off: 1 meeting on September 2 – fine-tuning needs and expectations – at ECDF offices in SPRK (Antwerp).
• Module 1: 3 weeks in the fall (preferably October) – training and coaching around business, communication and physical themes – in ECDF’s training room in SPRK
• Module 2: 3 weeks in spring (preferably February) – research with artistic coach + follow-up on business themes – in ECDF’s training room in SPRK + in an external creation space
• Module 3: 2 weeks in an external creation space, timing to be discussed – creation
