The 2025 pre-selected projects will benefit from a European Lab, a key support provided by circusnext each year. 6 to 9 authors are gathered for 10 days to work on the writing of their project, under the mentorship of an experienced artist. 

The primary aim of these Labs is to collaboratively refine each other’s projects, with a focus on circus writing and dramaturgy. It is also a valuable opportunity for the creators to network with other artists and professionals, as each session is hosted by a circusnext platform member.
