19th/21st September 2024, Milan // ITALY
TENDENZA CLOWN FESTIVAL

The 7th edition of Tendenza Clown, the international contemporary circus festival organised by Circuito CLAPS, was the last opportunity for the entire group of CirkAround 2022-2024 participants to meet their tutors. From 19th to 21st September, the festival featured 9 shows and a film, including 3 national premieres and 5 regional premieres.
The young were offered the opportunity to attend the clowning workshop held by the great artist Peter Schub, as well as to watch his show. Another great moment of impact was the official closing of the CirkAround project with feedback from the artistic direction and an exchange of views, from all the young people involved, on the personal and professional path taken thanks to CirkAround. This step took place in the presence of two Commissioners of the Circus sector of the Ministry of Culture and other international operators.

  1. The young CirkAround artists lived in close contact with each other for a few days, which led to new collaborations between them and with the organisers.
  2. They were given a busy schedule made of shows, meetings with the artists and tutors, to talk about their experience, training and conception of live performance.
  3. Peter Schub's workshop, offered to the participants, is in itself an unrepeatable artistic experience, shaping the minds and creations.
  4. In the final feedback, for the first time in front of project partners, institutions and operators, participants were given the opportunity to express their views on CirkAround path and experiences.
