CIRCUS INCUBATOR: Une stratégie EuropeS AmériqueS pour les jeunes artistes
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Creation circus has developed throughout Europe, Latin America and in Quebec. Lots of young people are interested in the opportunities for personal achievement offered by artistic paths, values of contemporary circus. A the end of their training paths, aiming at artistic excellence in Europe,and at social integration in Latin America, young people are faced to a key period requiring the combination of the artistic project, the entrepreunarial approach and then capitalise their experience during their life path.Confronted to a change in the economic model and action scale of the cultural sector, the young artists are less and less secure in their job. Moreover, the dialogue with the professionals is not easy because both parties lack training in that field. But the emergence of tomorrow’s talents is one of the sector challenges for which the project partners have expertise. They are part of local, national and international networks and are involved in accompanying young artists at the junction between formal and unformal training.These young artists’internationalisation can be a lever to change the exposed situation.Thus, the objective of the project is to experience a new model of international laboratory of artistic projects for young circus artists, so that they can develop an integrated approach between artistic research and entrepreneurial approach that they will be able to capitalise later in their personnal life path.Operational objectives- Making young artists aware of the necessity to internationalise their career and capitalise this experience- Raising the awareness of the professionals in charge of dissemination, to accompany young circus artists- Promoting the use of online collaborative tools by the participants- Promoting an hybridization of the American and European models of accompaniment and of funds raising This experiment is a research and transmission path between young artists and professionals.- Two project incubators take place, in Helsinki and Montreal for the first one, and one in Recife and in Stockholm for the second one. At each time a research workshop dedicated to young artists is then developed through a crosscuting workshop focused on an artist/professional dialogue.- An online platform will monitor the process, its evaluation and the matter collection for its capitalisation and for designing a learning pack.- A learning pack will help model and disseminate the process- A final seminar in Toulouse in order to continue and disseminate the project.The evaluation process integrates the quality follow-up of the project, prepares the dissemination of the results and the capitalisation of the participants’personal achievements
