Register for the 2013 festival!

Registration for the third edition of our acrobatics festival is now open!

Go directly to the registration form here.

The festival will again take place in Krupa na Vrbasu, from 19th till 25th of August.

We decided the festivalfee will be the same as last years’, so €90 for festivalparticipants from ex-Yu and €175 for people from richer countries. Also this year we won’t be offering any prepared pre-festival tourism in Bosnia before or after the festival, but ofcourse were always happy to share our contacts.

Preparing the third convention…

Jeeej! We have decided to also organise the third acrobatics convention in Krupa on the Vrbas in the summer of 2013! It will take place from Monday August 19 till August 25. Stay informed through our email-list.

Besides again inviting well known acrobatics trainer Niko Douwes, we also invite Paul Griffioen and Emilien Médail, a French circus artist as trainer for the convention this year.

France has a long standing circus-scene, where hand-2-hand acrobatics is practised on a high level. However, German-Dutch acrobats are not very connected with French acrobats. So for our third convention we hope to build even more bridges; not only again between acrobats from around the region of Bosnia and Herzegovina and those from the Netherlands and Germany, but also between acrobats from the North and the South Europe…

See you in Krupa this summer!

Coming to the acrobatics festival in BiH

Here  you find some practical information about the upcoming festival in Bosnia.

Arriving to Krupa:
The festival lasts from Monday till Sunday. Berengere and me will come, like last year, to Krupa on Monday morning. However, the campsite is open, and you can stay at the camp already on Sunday night. There are shops and restaurants in Krupa so you won’t die just before the festival starts. Directions to the camp are on the website, or ask anyone “Kamp Krupa”.

Pre-festival Contact Improvisation workshop

PROPOSED WORKSHOP:
DANCE CONTACT IMPROVISATION
HANS VAN DER VLIS
BANJALUKA, SUNDAY 19TH OF AUGUST 2012

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dance technique in which points of physical contact provide the starting point for exploration through movement improvisation. Contact Improvisation is a form of dance improvisation and is one of the best-known and most characteristic forms of post-modern dance.

Explore around Banja Luka before the BiH acro festival

Several people who registered for the acrobatics festival told us they were interested in making a little trip before or after the festival, in order to discover more of Bosnia then just Krupa na Vrbasu…

Last year we facilitated this as well. Julien, a friend of ours, took a group of acrobats for four days on a guided tour around Banja Luka. And after the festival he took a few acrobats climbing at the Stone Bridge, between Banja Luka and Krupa.
