The Circus Creation Laboratories aim to support circus artists in developing their creative practices through two distinct approaches: dramaturgical writing and artistic intervention in public space.

Dramaturgical Writing Laboratory for Circus, in partnership with La Grainerie, focusing on dramaturgy applied to circus.

Circus and Public Space Intervention Laboratory, led by the collective Eléctrico 28, dedicated to artistic creation in public space.

Organised by Teatro da Didascália, in partnership with La Grainerie – fabrique des arts du cirque et de l’itinérance and the Associació de Professionals de Circ de Catalunya (APCC), the laboratories will select four circus artists based in Portugal for each laboratory, providing a space for collective research, experimentation, and mentorship.

Participants will engage in site-specific exploration and creative dialogue, deepening their projects through dramaturgical tools or artistic intervention strategies in public space. Both laboratories will take place at fAUNA, the headquarters of Teatro da Didascália in Joane, Vila Nova de Famalicão. Travel, accommodation, and meals will be covered for the selected artists.
