Circunstruction

Circunstruction helps alumni to take the first step as creators by creating their own performance: from idea to concept to performance.

Circunstruction selects projects that want to cross boundaries, have substantive expressiveness and make the public think with current themes. After selection, the companies in the making will be given residency space and time for research. They are supported by an artistic supervisor. In the process, the participants develop their own artistic language and vision, as well as insight into production, audience recruitment and finance. The works will be tested for the public in Rotterdam neighborhoods and during the Circus Three Days in Maas Theater.
