Fresh Circus #2
 12-13 April 2012 Parc et Grande Halle de la Villette (Paris)
Circostrada Network is organising Fresh Circus #2, European seminar on the sustainable development of circus arts, on the 12th and 13th of April 2012. The goal of this moment of reflection and exchange is to formulate a series of practical recommendations to improve the infrastructure and recognition of the sector.
To create opportunities for artistic mobility, to bring the performing arts into the digital era, to facilitate access to culture, to think of new economic models, to increase recognition of the arts within society, to participate in the renewal of public policies – these are but a few of the challenges which the entire cultural sector faces, and each is a subject which can greatly benefit from circus’ innovative contributions.
In order to facilitate the approach and the treatment of issues linked to our sector, the members of Circostrada Network propose to articulate the seminar around ten thematic working sessions. Within this framework, in order to take into consideration the diverse realities of Europe, we are proposing that artists and companies, circus arts professionals, and more generally those from the performing arts field should send contributions ahead of time in order to share their experiences and difficulties, to make known examples of good practice, and to help formulate concrete propositions that will improve the situation of the sector and reflect how to best position contemporary circus in the face of transnational issues. Stakeholders can send their contributions online and register to the seminar on our website www.circostrada.org
Fresh Circus #2 is proposed by Circostrada Network, European platform for the street arts and circus. HorsLesMurs, French national information centre for street arts and circus, acts as general secretariat of the network and coordinates its actions. This event is held in partnership with and with the support of Parc et Grande Halle de la Villette, the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, Institut Français, Onda, Fondation BNP-Paribas, Ville de Paris and Stradda magazine.

During the events in La Villette Paris English French conference interpretation was provided in all secessions and workshops. Some of the websites are multilingual and participants came from all over the world. Risk, experience and exchange of best practices were in the hearth of the event.
