OUTDOOR CIRCUS PERFORMANCE MARCH \u2013 MAY 2025<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summertime means performing time <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How lovely it is to perform at outdoor festivals, meet lots of different people and come in close contact with your audience. Are you thinking of creating a circus performance for the outdoors yourself?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we have the perfect opportunity for you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a budget, help you with funding for more, support you throughout the process and provide around 10-20 performances at schools and squares in Rotterdam in April 2025. By the end of the trajectory, your show will be ready for touring the festival circuit, as many of the previous year\u2019s creations still are.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention:<\/strong> This call is aimed at artists living in the Netherlands or with a strong connection to the Dutch field and able to organize housing during the creation and performing period.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stadsparade<\/strong> is our version of the \u2018Classic Circus Parade\u2019 to tell the city that: \u201cThe circus is coming to town\u201d. It is our way to show a broad Rotterdam audience the taste and feel of contemporary circus and at the same time promote the festival. Every year we co-produce a short outdoor circus performance to tour many primary schools and other public spaces in Rotterdam as an introduction to Circusstad Festival. It\u2019s a fun introduction to the circus we represent. For the performers, it\u2019s also a great way to develop and test new outdoor circus work to a broad and highly responsive audience. Every year we reach about 10.000 people with this tour all over Rotterdam.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we offer: <\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Part of the budget for about 1 or 2 artists for creation and performances.  
\u2022 You get a great deal of accompaniment\/mentoring from the Circusstad team for all the different aspects of creating, funding, producing, promoting, networking and touring a new production.   
\u2022 A contract for about 2 months    
\u2022 The opportunity to test a new show in depth.    
\u2022 Your creation will also be part of the Dutch Circus Showcase during Circusstad 2025.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we ask: <\/strong> <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A new creation of a 15-30 minute outdoor show of \u2018fresh, fun, quirky, spectacular, personal\u2019 circus   
\u2022 Suitable for outdoors (no rigging, or a self-supporting easy rig).    
\u2022 Suitable for a young audience (so only Dutch text or no text)   
\u2022 Suitable to be performed 20 times at school squares at primary schools and other squares in and    around Rotterdam. Accessible to an audience between 40 and 400 children and adults.    
\u2022 You live\/work in the Netherlands, preferably in or around Rotterdam.    
\u2022 You\u2019ve graduated from Codarts or ACaPA or have professional circus experience.  
\u2022 You speak (enough) Dutch to address an audience and tell them about our festival.   
\u2022 Availability in March\/April\/early May 2025.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
