Thursday 9 july
10.00 h. «The emergence of circus authorship»
A panel discussion on practice, rights and experiences.
With
Pepa Plana, author and clown
Quim Girón, circus director
Rolando San Martin, circus director
Sara López Blanco, lawyer specialised in intellectual property
Moderator: Cristina Cazorla
Circus authorship has been recently identified and is becoming an emerging issue now. This identity is due to self-acknowledgement, the capacity of the sector to determine different stages and approaches that a creation requires and uphold them.
The structure of a circus show is rarely based in a classic linear narrative, but a structure based on the narrative of acrobatics using the dramaturgical resources of surprise, risk, fear, emotion, etc. Since each creative collective and author seeks and builds their own creative model, we propose to share experiences and methods.
We will also explain the legal frame of authorship rights, procedures, makers’ rights and we will emphasize the importance of registering the creations for the documentation of circus history.
12.00 h. «El circus in Spain: realities and strategies»
Space for reflection to talk about the sector from all its realities: shared needs, vindications and future strategies.
Participants:
CIRCORED (Federación de Asociaciones de Profesionales de Circo de España), Sofía Acosta Martínez
UPAAC (Unión de Profesionales Artistas y Amigos del Circo), Manuel González Villanueva
PATEA (Artes de Calle Asociadas), Marta Sitjà

Moderator: Leandro Mendoza, Trapezi Fair’s artistic director
In the past few years circus in Spain has moved forward thanks to associations and unions. These inner organisations have created more robust relations with institutions of all fields improving our acknowledgement within the artistic sector. In front of the global sanitary crisis, there have been many actions carried out by these organisations that have represented several fields of our art in a unified way in front of the public administration. At Trapezi we want to offer a space to discuss shortage, demands and to share future strategies.
