In the early stages of a creation, or when artists want to reinvent themselves, there is a need for time and space: to search, to try, and perhaps to start over a few times. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"2023\">With this formula, ECDF offers artists and companies the opportunity to drop anchor at Circushaven with their own research question. Through dialogue, we explore how this question ties in with our core values and what support is meaningful and desirable. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"2023\">This formula differs mainly in terms of duration and intensity. It involves longer projects that offer artists continuity, enabling them to work on their oeuvre in a sustainable manner and in real depth. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"2023\">Those who sign up for this formula are expected to make a clearly substantiated choice for a specific research direction. We also invite you to think about how you can give something back to the stimulating environment and the meeting point that we cultivate within our organization. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"2023\">Within the formula, we distinguish between two phases:<\/p>\n        \t<\/div>\n<\/div><section class=\"b-content b-content-cols b-content-bg bg-gray\">\n    \t<div class=\"wysiwyg bg-green\">\n\t\t<h2>Phase 1: Research<\/h2>\t\t<p>In this first phase, the focus is explicitly not on the artistic end product, but rather on the search that can form the basis for new ideas that can strengthen the artist&#8217;s oeuvre\u2014and, by extension, perhaps also the circus sector\u2014from the ground up. We are keen to provide space for artists who want to engage in cross-pollination with other disciplines, target groups, and sectors. <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n    \t<div class=\"wysiwyg bg-none\">\n\t\t<h2>Phase 2: the creative process<\/h2>\t\t<p>We provide the necessary breathing space again when the artist or company is ready to start the actual creative process. We bring calm and clarity to the process, creating more space for creation, dramaturgy, scenography, and ongoing reflection. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n        \n    <\/section><section class=\"b-content\">\n    \t<div class=\"wysiwyg bg-none\">\n\t\t<h2>Support within this formula<\/h2>\t\t<p>This formula is rolled out over a period of four weeks at a time.
