Strategy and activities

In Rotterdam we work together to make Rotterdam the Circus City of the Netherlands.
Circus City Festival is the culmination of activities and a flywheel for the development of projects with which we stimulate visiting, practicing and creating circus theater. The policy (2021-2024) is focused on three pillars:

1. Beleven: the development of Circusstad Festival as a platform for presentation and audience development. Unique to Circusstad Festival is the formula in which free and paid performances, international top and new talent, and experiencing and doing it yourself form a vibrant mix with which we appeal to young and old. The performances take place on the streets, in theaters and an increasing number of locations throughout the city.
2. Develop: as a platform for talent and creatorship, we support young languages and new creators in their development and the creation of new performances. In this way we contribute to the substantive development of the genre.
3. Social: As a platform for social practice, we use the intrinsic power of circus to achieve social goals such as empowerment, self-development and social cohesion.

Audience

Every year, Circusstad Festival reaches 30,000 to 35,000 visitors with its activities.
As an accessible art form, circus is attractive to a wide variety of audience groups. The festival involves seasoned enthusiasts as well as families and new audiences, especially among audience groups that normally participate less in cultural activities.
