Swedish Performing Arts for an International Audie
nce 2016 1
CIRKUS CIRKÖR Cirkus Cirkör is Sweden’s first and
largest contemporary circus, founded in 1995. Built on art and pedagogy, Cirkus Cirkör has grown rapidly and today consists of shows touring Sweden and the world, circus events, circus training and an internationally renowned secondary school. Over the years, almost two million people have seen our shows. Our artistic director Tilde Björfors is the world’s first artistic professor of circus studies. Through Cirkör LAB, we support cross-boundary arts and science meetings, monodisciplinary research and pedagogical research. We have enjoyed standing ovations at venues like BAM in New York, Montreal Complètement Cirque, The Roundhouse in London and Polo Circo in Buenos Aires. With two performances touring the world and another on the way, we are ready for new challenges. Mette Klouman | mette.klouman@cirkor.se | www.cirkor.se Photo: Mattias Edwall.
