It is very important to us to promote the network in the national and international circus and show scene, to enable new contacts and to generate new ideas. That is why we organize the PROFESSIONAL SESSION and the traditional CIRCUS SPEED DATING every year. Artists, producers, bookers, directors and all other circus lovers are cordially invited.
These are the talk guests 2022:
- Tilde Björfors, Artistic Director of “Cirkus Cirkör”, Sweden
- Stacy Clark, CEO of “CircusTalk”, Casting Director, Canada
- Samuel Roy, Senior Casting Advisor at “Cirque du Soleil”, Canada
- Daniel Burow, editor of CircusZeitung and coordinator for Ukrainian circus students in Berlin
The professional session is hosted by Urs Jäckle / Artistic Director Krystall Palast Variété Leipzig
Participation in the Professional Session is free of charge. If you would like to attend the festival-show at 7:30 p.m., you can also order tickets at the regular price by registering.
