2nd Circus Residency: The smallest circus convention in Brazil

The House of Sustainable Arts opens its doors for the Second Circus Residency in the style of "the smallest Circus Convention". We offer 5 days of artistic living and cultural exchange through workshops, classes, community shows and theatrical performances. The residency is an intimate meeting of circus artists in the many artistic languages of clowning, juggling, aerial arts, dance, sound and lighting, spoken word and musical performance. This annual residency is occurring for the second time from September 11-15, 2019 in the historic neighborhood of Dois de Julho, Salvador, Brazil. We invite all artists and collectives who identify with the Circus community to present a proposal for a workshop or an act to present during the residency. As a participant you will stay in the CAS - Casa de Artes Sustentáveis residency accommodations, take workshops and classes from other artists from around the world, watch and/or be part of several shows presented in the four story historic house and outside in the thriving cultural neighborhood in which we are located. CAS supports the logistics of your travel, offers interpretation services and guided tours to experience the cultural and historical richness of Salvador da Bahia, the epicenter of Afro-Brazilian culture, religion and art.
