NICA e.V. · Network for Inclusive Circus Arts

We connect inclusive circus practice, knowledge, and people.

NICA develops methods, creates learning opportunities, and strengthens exchange within the international circus community.

Practice becomes knowledge when we share experiences.

Our Approach

Inclusion doesn't happen at the margins of an offering.

It begins in the design of methods, materials, spaces, and decisions. That's why we combine practical projects with research, further education, and open knowledge.

Practice, Knowledge, and Network

Practice

Experiment Together

We develop inclusive circus and movement offerings with schools, neighborhoods, cultural venues, and social institutions.

Knowledge

Make Experiences Accessible

Methods, games, research, and materials are documented, reviewed, and opened up to the community.

Network

Learn Across Borders

We connect practitioners, organizations, and research partners regionally and internationally.

From Practice

Methods that enable diverse access.

Functional Juggling, cooperative arrangements, and participatory processes are examples of how circus practice can be transformed. What matters isn't a single technique, but what people can do with it together.
