Flanders-Basque Country: Vertical Visions

“Vertical Visions” is an international research and collaborative education project between the vertical dance companies La Glo Zirko Dantza and Cirkus in Beweging. During the initial stage, the emphasis will be placed on exchanging technical skills, collaborative work methods, and shared expertise. This will be followed by research laboratories to analyse forms of collaboration among live visual arts, music and dance. Finally, the project will be presented to the public in a show that merges elements of circus performance, music, and illustration.
