Circus Sessions part of NextSteps 2014/15. It is a weeklong creative laboratory and think-tank offering 15 contemporary circus artists the opportunity to work with an internationally renowned mentor in one of Toronto’s best venues. This initiative is open to the diverse forms of practice that span the five families of circus: Aerial, Acrobatics, Balancing, Object Manipulation and Clown. Circus Sessions looks to encourage artists to engage in a creative dialogue that examines their evolving form, cultivates experimentation in performance, as well as networking, advocacy and audience development and engagement strategies.
