📢 CIRCUS CONFERENCE @ CINARS WEB 📢
On Tuesday, November 10 at noon EST, MICC Director Ruth Wikler will facilitate the panel discussion ‘Juggling, Contortion, and Risk: Recent Innovations in Contemporary Circus’, alongside guest speakers Victoria Amedume (Upswing), Nathalie Delorme (En piste), Yaron Lifschitz (Circa Contemporary Circus) and Jed Wheeler (Montclair State University).
In these unprecedented times, hear from artists and presenters who believe contemporary circus to be the art form of the moment: ready to adapt, to reinvent, to reach out, to push boundaries, to discover digital possibilities and most of all to safely welcome audiences back to the live encounter.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
The MICC Team
