La relève se révèle - Campagne de sociofinancement

Developing emerging talent, supporting circus students, and introducing young people to the circus to spark their passion.

Link to our campaign on La Ruche

This project was born out of two observations. On the one hand, emerging artists need safe, professional spaces to train, create, and take their first steps on stage. On the other hand, audience renewal is essential to the vitality of the circus, and financial access remains a major obstacle for young people.

It is at the crossroads of these two realities—supporting the next generation of artists and renewing the audience—that the desire to establish a framework promoting artistic emergence and the lasting engagement of young people in the circus arts emerged.

NEXT GENERATION ON STAGE

Through this campaign, we will open access to the optimal, professional facilities of our Dalhousie Station studios and share our expertise. We will offer 1,000 hours of training supervised by our teams and two creative residencies, allowing the next generation to create, train, and grow in the best possible conditions.

NEXT GENERATION IN THE AUDIENCE

Because being in contact with art is transformative, and because everyone should feel welcome in a theater, 300 young people will attend a free performance of iD – Evolution. This will be followed by a mediation session with the artists and the design team to continue the discussion.

The requested amount will be used to host emerging artists or companies for two creative residencies (equipment, rehearsal spaces, technicians to meet their needs), to give students and graduates free access to a fully equipped, professional, and supervised rehearsal space where they can train and create in optimal conditions, and to offer tickets to 300 young people between the ages of 15 and 29, in order to democratize access to culture and spark interest in the circus arts. The objectives: to support artistic activities, both for artists and students, by contributing to their professionalization, and for the public, by offering tickets to shows and mediation.

This campaign is supported by the Fonds 1001 pour la jeunesse, which means that once the $50,000 goal is reached, the amount will be doubled!
