Publications

FEDEC, La Fédération européenne des écoles de cirque professionnelles, has published their Instruction Manual for Cyr Wheel [PDF], a 64-page pedagogical guide to the discipline and its training methodologies.

Finland's Centre for Practise as Research in Theatre has published the English version of its guide Social Circus – A Guide to Good Practices.

Circostrada has published the European Circus Charter for Hosting Circuses in Towns, a document developed by a large European working group that lays out a model of good practice to which local authorities, circuses and other hosts can subscribe.

It divides into four parts: How to host a circus?, Location, Installation, and Performance, colour coding its recommendations to distinguish between circus and local authority commitments.

There's a new Circostrada dossier for December, How do you spell circus?, which presents a taster of content from Stradda magazine. As always it's available to download free of charge, in French and English.
