The artists took a child-centred approach to develop a performance\/workshop that focuses on connection, learning new skills and creating memories together. They were able to test out the workshop aspect during MAD Festival 2026.<\/a> Afterwards, it was time for the creative phase, with residency weeks at Het Gravenhof<\/a> in Hoboken and De Klap<\/a> in Deurne. At the latter venue, they worked towards their first public try-out. <\/p>\n

\n

Throughout the year, we were given a great deal of freedom to work on our project. Because there is so much time, you feel less pressure, which helps with the creative process. The various content-focused sessions we attended really helped us.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to the players of the National Lottery<\/a>, newly qualified circus professionals were able to undertake a paid internship programme focusing on artistic, physical and business coaching. Through the START-UP LABO, the National Lottery and Ell Circo D\u2019ell Fuego have been working together in recent years to professionalise the Belgian circus scene and further establish its position, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n
