CirkAround ENG - Circuito CLAPS

CirkAround

Circuito CLAPS has been the project leader of the CirkAround project since its first edition in 2019, being the winner of the Ministry of Culture’s Boarding Pass Plus call for four consecutive editions in the circus field. The project consists of a training and experiential path directed at young professionals working in contemporary circus as artists and/or organisers. The aim of the ministerial call is the internationalisation of the careers of under-35s and Circuito CLAPS, thanks to the partnership with Italian and foreign realities, offers participants – selected through a national call – masterclasses with international teachers, experiences in the main contemporary circus festivals at European level and contacts with operators from all over the world.
