The BETA CIRCUS Participatory Experience has culminated in the release of Shared Stages – A comprehensive guide to participatory circus, a publication that brings together key insights, methodologies, and learnings from this innovative project.

This guide provides a detailed overview of the project’s structure and methodologies, offering a critical evaluation of the participatory processes involved. It also presents key conclusions on the impact of participatory arts and includes a best-practice manual designed to support the replication of similar initiatives in different contexts.

By combining reflections from artists, participants, and cultural professionals, Shared Stages serves as both a record of the project and a practical resource for those interested in developing participatory circus practices.

The publication is now available for download in English (full version) and summary translations to Italian, Latvian, Portuguese and Serbian.
