During August 15–20 The Contemporary Circus and Street Art Festival Re Rīga! invites you to attend not only a list of various great shows, but also four masterclasses intended for circus professionals, emerging circus artists, artists of other genres close to contemporary circus art (contemporary dance, acting etc) as well as for journalists, critics and students. The masterclasses will cover various aspects of circus art – they invite you to explore the manipulation of objects and street art processes, lead you to think about how to look at and write about circus art, as well as promote the artist’s individual creative process.
All masterclasses have the same APPLICATION form.
