Inside a circus heart

-I am afraid all the time, but I have practiced not to be afraid to be afraid, says the acrobat.

In the book Inside a Circus Heart, Cirkus Cirkör's former artistic leader, Tilde Björfors, and Åsa Balkfors share experiences from Cirkör's first 15 years. From an impossible dream to a company and a vision that for 15 years has managed to operate in several industries and worlds simultaneously - culture, school, leisure, college, business, non-profit arena and entrepreneurship.

This book is about how the circus has guided and inspired Cirkus Cirkör to everything we do, not just what is seen on stage and in the gyms. About how the circus has become an inexhaustible toolbox for us in artistic and pedagogical development as well as in leadership, co-operation and entrepreneurship.

Let your life be inspired by the circus!

Circus as a Method

Cirkusartistens kunskaper om misslyckandet, närvaron, tilltron och samarbetet kan föras vidare, med cirkusens metoder. Akrobater är mästare på att förvandla risker till möjligheter och lindansaren vet att endast via konstant rörelse står du still. Det finns mycket att lära av cirkusartisterna, såväl i livet som på arbetsplatsen.
