Making Circus as the Stuff of the World
April 14th to 17th 2023 At Kristofferscenen in Bromma, Stockholm, Sweden.
Curated and led by Ben Richter and Marie-Andree Robitaille.
With contributions from Cox Ahlers, Jenny Patschovsky, Jay Gilligan, Ivar Heckscher, Circ2M, Ben Richter and Marie-Andree Robitaille.
The symposium Circus STUFF proposed a range of circus activities spread over four days which encompassed lectures, practical workshops, displays and sharing of processes, discussions and circus performances.
The pivotal topic for the symposium was on our relations to “stuff”; the things we work with, the material processes that are part of circus composition, circus performance and the imaginaries circus enable. By material processes, we refer to all physical processes, such as the relation to objects, making of props, transformation of matter, and we include immaterial phenomena and the emergence and ethical implications of ideas and concepts that emerge from circus stuffs.
