Baltic Circus on the Road
supporting contemporary circus performances in Baltics
This project responds to a need to build capacity for Baltic artists to export their performances in the international touring circuit and raise awareness and visibility of Baltic contemporary circus scene in Europe.
Timeline: 2021-2022
Focus: Baltic circus artists
Baltic Circus on the Road (BCR) aims to build capacity for professional circus artists active in all three Baltic countries to produce tourable performances and show their work to international audiences. They will develop their network and enter the touring circuit of contemporary circus in Europe. The “Baltic circus on the road” project started in 2021, when an international jury chose four Baltic companies: Sabok cirkus, Kanta company, Taigi cirkas and Big Wolf Company – artists with great potential to represent the quality of the Baltic circus arts in European scope.
A catalogue of available performances in the region is now available for international programmers. International producer Lina B. Frank is engaged in the project as an international touring expert.
