Circus workspace
The artist and the development of the circus arts are central to CIRKLABO.
It is based on non-product-driven experiment, exchange and reflection.
Absorbing evolutions in the circus arts, in Leuven or in society, the workspace stimulates the artistic deepening of circus, mainly on the following themes:
- interdisciplinarity inside and outside the arts
- new urbanity, and
- digital technology
Residency
CIRKLABO offers working space to circus artists for blank space and co-production. In 2021, more than 30 circus artists already came to the floor.
