In collaboration with CirkVOST (FR), the Danish Artist Association offers a unique workshop for artists who are not afraid of heights and voids!

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.


Workshop with CirkVOST (FR) 29th of August

  • Guided tour of CirkVOST's monumental aerial structure, followed by a sensory workshop exploring the physical and emotional perception of height and emptiness.
  • Jump into the void: a daring leap from the hanging chair into the safety net - an exercise in trust, risk and poetic suspension.
  • Collective exchange on the economic and artistic mechanisms behind large aerial creations, with insights into CirkVOST's creative process.
  • Price: DKK 150 for members of Dansk Artist Forbund
  • Sign up no later than 25 August
