In May 2012, Territoires de Cirque produced 10 proposals for a new circus policy in France that reflect the thrust of Cirque en campagne operation : 13 meetings throughout France dedicated to current, circus-specific issues attended by artists, intellectuals, cultural operators, elected officials, and audiences.
We are continuing to push for these ten proposals :
- Strike for a new balance among the means allocated to training, production, and circulation
- Strengthen companies’ professional backgrounds
- Consolidate means of production
- Strengthen and enlarge the interregional fabric
- Present circus more broadly
- Devise a national plan to support big top circuses
- Assert the need for cross-over financing
- Respect the creative process and move beyond instrumentalization
- Continue to broaden and find new audiences
- Take a sustainable-development approach for the circus of tomorrow
