APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications to the Bachelor Program in Circus are submitted through an online application form. (Opening Monday, February the 16th)



Step 1 - Online Application


The form is divided into three parts:

Selected applicants will be invited to physical auditions at CCCC, Copenhagen in early May.



Step 2 - Physical Audition


The physical audition will take place over three days and includes exercises related to circus disciplines, physical practice, collaboration and artistic creation.


A selection process will take place during the audition period. Applicants who are not selected to continue to the following stage will be informed along the way. However, all applicants are encouraged to remain present for the full audition period.


In order to support applicants travelling from abroad, training facilities and practice opportunities will be available throughout the audition days. This allows our applicants to plan their travel with confidence and to engage meaningfully with the environment and community at CCCC.


Applicants invited to the physical audition will receive detailed information about schedule, preparation, and practical arrangements.
