    Arts Writers & Circus Arts [vol. 2]

    A collection of articles produced by the eight cultural journalists who attended a residency organised by Circostrada in the frame of Helsinki's Cirko Festival in May 2010. The pieces all respond in some way to the idea of contemporary circus' new and multifaceted aesthetics. The articles are presented in original language and English.
