Sharing your Work with the World: International Market Development Strategies for Contemporary Circus
Contemporary circus as an art form is terrifically positioned to meet the current moment of shifting audience preferences and behaviours in the performing arts. But concretely speaking, how do you build a bridge between what you as an artist are authentically creating and what presenters around the world are seeking? Gain strategies, insight, and an international perspective in this interactive workshop.
