Lying just outside the Parc de la Villette and co-owned by the Parc and the City of Paris, the Espace Périphérique is a creation centre for street arts, circus and puppetry that has a permanent chapiteau and a number of smaller studio buildings.

They're currently soliciting applications from companies/artists interested in undertaking a residency during the second quarter of 2012. The residency can be geared toward production or research and there's some financial assistance available from the centre.
