Growing Circus Employment Pathways in Aotearoa – New Research and Paths Forward

In 2022, exciting new research occurred on what is needed to grow employment pathways through the circus arts in Aotearoa. After the ANZCA AGM, researcher Rachael Trotman (www.weavingchange.nz) will present key findings and lead discussion on how best to action these findings, to benefit the whole circus landscape in Aotearoa. Come along to hear what came up and discuss how to move on the recommendations arising.
