Closing

Tim Behren, Mirjam Hildbrand and Jenny Patchovsky review impulses, personal inspirations, new insights and open questions from the symposium "Re-Writing Circus". The symposium opened a space for very heterogeneous voices from the (international) contemporary circus. What are the financial conditions of access to these spaces and to what extent do dependencies on institutions and/or the market play an invisible but powerful role that goes hand in hand with responsibility? This ties in with multi-layered relational conditions of bodies that want to be further thought about and reflected in the circus.
