Fresh Circus #2 is focusing on the sustainable development of circus arts, and because we are taking this approach seriously there will be no distribution of printed documents!

All the necessary documents will be downloadable from our website a couple of days before the seminar, and the participants will receive a USB stick with all the documents.

The registration deadline is this Sunday, 1st April. There are still some seats available. Register now, some workshops are already fully booked: www.surveymonkey.com/s/registrationfreshcircus2
