In collaboration with CirkVOST (FR), the Danish Artist Association offers a unique workshop for artists who are not afraid of heights and empty spaces! On a more down-to-earth level, circus performers can try out new ideas in a development programme at AFUK with deadline 15 August

In connection with Waves Festival In Vordingborg from 26 to 31 August, members of Dansk Artist Forbund can sign up for a 3-hour workshop in their 13.5 metre high structure on 29 August at a membership price of DKK 150 for performing circus artists.

The French company CirkVOST is a recognised troupe that specialises in making custom-built structures part of the scenic expression. At the workshop, you will have a unique opportunity to get professional sparring with the French artists and get in the air yourself.

Earlier this month, there is a deadline for applications for a development programme in collaboration between AFUK stage and AFUK day school for those who work creatively with circus performance.
