Three lab weeks in Nîmes are open to emerging circus companies, with applications closing 30 September

Collectif La Basse Cour and the école de cirque Turbul' are opening three weeks of laboratory time in 2027 to emerging companies that already have a creation project running.

The weeks run 1 to 5 February and 1 to 5 March at Turbul' in Nîmes, then 17 to 21 May at the théâtre Le Périscope in the same city.

Access to the labs is free. Participants cover 6€ per person per day toward accommodation, membership of the two host organisations, and their own meals and travel.

The call is worded for "compagnies émergentes et/ou immergées ayant actuellement un projet de création", so it is built around companies with work already in progress rather than around a starting point.

Applications close on 30 September 2026, through a form on La Basse Cour's site.

Three separate weeks spread across four months is a different offer from one block of residency time. Work can move between them.
