ON THE EDGE

Festival for experimental circus arts

Since its foundation in 2020, ON THE EDGE has been able to establish itself as a permanent fixture within the international circus landscape. Current developments in contemporary circus creation have been promoted and made visible. The goal continues to be the establishment of circus arts as an independent and innovative art form.

The focus is on the further development of circus techniques, the questioning of virtuosity, gravity and tricks, as well as the creative handling of aesthetics and dramaturgy. The festival promotes and showcases artists who mix circus with dance, performance or visual arts, dare to experiment and explore boundaries. ON THE EDGE wants to dare to try new things, launch new perspectives, carefully feel things out, endure contrasts and pick people up. Rediscover circus art together!

Dynamo

Stage and workspace for circus and performing arts

Dynamo was created in 2017 by circus artists Gry Lambertsen and Rune Vadstrøm Andersen out of an urgent need for production and stage space for circus in Denmark.

Dynamo is an open stage, a free artistic space installed in a raw and beautiful former grain warehouse in the harbor of Odense. The space hosts between 15 and 20 national and international circus companies in residency each year, as well as workshops, training sessions and shows. Dynamo promotes the emergence of contemporary circus with Open Stage, where emerging artists can come and test their ideas in front of an audience.

Dynamo also organizes the DYNAMO CIRCUS FESTIVAL, a 4-day celebration of contemporary circus that takes place every 2 years.
