La formation continue pour professeurs en arts du cirque : concevoir, animer et évaluer« Cette publication est née de la volonté de la FEDEC de doter les directeurs d’école et directeurs pédagogiques d’un outil leur permettant de mettre à disposition de leurs professeurs une offre de formation et de développement professionnel en phase avec les évolutions du métier de professeur en école de cirque professionnelle et adaptable à son contexte local, national ou international.
La première partie de ce guide rappelle le contexte et les raisons de sa création. Elle donne par des clés de compréhension des enjeux liés à ce guide et précisera qui sont les principaux destinataires de cet outil. La seconde partie définit les fondements pédagogiques des sessions de formation INTENTS, véritables laboratoires d’expérimentation d’environnements de formation et qui ont vocation à servir de référence pour les formations à venir. La troisième partie, enfin, présente les propositions relatives à la conception, l’animation et l’évaluation des dispositifs de formation. Ces propositions concernent les deux grandes catégories de dispositifs (formations « intra », au sein des écoles d’une part, et formations « inter », regroupant des enseignants d’écoles différentes, à un niveau régional, national ou international d’autre part). » [résumé de l'éditeur]
Narcisse et ses avatarsEn vingt-six entrées vives et accessibles, Yves Michaud pose son regard de philosophe sur les mutations à l’œuvre dans notre société.

C’est à contrecourant des discours alarmistes que le lecteur retrouvera son quotidien, ses obsessions et névroses. Il entrera dans cet abécédaire comme on tend devant soi un miroir, ou un smartphone, et se verra délivrer des clés à la compréhension du monde d’aujourd’hui et de demain. [résumé de l'éditeur]
Thinking Through CircusThinking Through Circus gathers ten dialogues with and between circus artists. Each entry bears witness to how a specific circus practice is (also) a practice of critical thinking, revealing how feminism, queerness, dramaturgy, love, disobedience, posthumanism and the aesthetico-political imaginary are rethought in and through contemporary circus practice.
With this book, The Circus Dialogues wants to tend to the embodied relationships between contemporary circus and today’s world, defending circus as a field in which experimental thinking is already happening and can continue to happen. Doing so, we hope to contribute to a more sustainable circus, expanding both accountability and agency within our field.
The Circus Dialogues is a two-year artistic research project at KASK School of Arts Ghent (BE) led by Bauke Lievens (BE), Quintijn Ketels (BE), Sebastian Kann (US/DE) and accompanied by Vincent Focquet (BE). Our work delves into and makes space for encounters between theory and artistic circus practice. The Circus Dialogues aims to shine a light on the circus as a field in which experimental thinking is already happening, and we work to ensure the ongoingness of such thinking in an artistic and institutional ecology that’s long-term sustainable. We do this first and foremost through our diverse artistic practices. In parallel, we organize reading groups and collaborative gatherings for circus artists. We have also published several Open Letters to the Circus. Our activities are conceived with the intention of helping to imagine the circus field as both important and political. Most importantly, we defend circus as an open and undefinable form. [editor summary]
Craft A secret history of craft told through lost and overlooked texts that illuminate our understanding of current art practice.
“Craft” is a contested concept in art history and a vital category through which to understand contemporary art. Through craft, materials, techniques, and tools are investigated and their histories explored in order to reflect on the politics of labor and on the extraordinary complexity of the made world around us. This anthology offers an ethnography of craft, surveying its shape-shifting identities in the context of progressive art and design through writings by artists and makers as well as poetry, fiction, anthropology, and sociology. It maps a secret history of craft through lost and overlooked texts that consider pedagogy, design, folk art, the factory, and new media in ways that illuminate our understanding of current art practice.
Recently, the idea of craft has been employed strategically: to confront issues of gender or global development, to make a stand against artistic academicism, or to engage with making processes—some distinctly archaic—employed to suggest the abject and the everyday. Craft activism, or craftivism, suggests a new political purpose for the handmade. Deep anxieties drive today's technophilia, and artists, designers, and makers turn such anxieties into a variety of dynamic engagements. The contributors' reflections on new technologies and materials, lost and found worlds of handwork, and the politics of work all throw light on craft as process, product, and ideology. Craft will serve as a vital resource for understanding technologies, materials, techniques, and tools through the lens of craft in contemporary art. [editor summary]
Making solo performanceFocusing specifically on solo making and performing, this unique and exciting text allows the experts to speak for themselves. In interviews with Misri Dey, six recognised solo performers working across a range of performance genres – including theatre, dance, live and performance art, site-specific performance, music video and film – provide insightful and practical strategies for creative making and performing processes. Interviewees include Bryony Kimmings, Tim Etchells, Bobby Baker, Mike Pearson, Wendy Houstoun and Nigel Charnock.
Engaging and accessible, this is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Theatre, Performance and Acting, scholars, lecturers and performance practitioners. It will also appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Women's Studies, Creative Writing and the Visual Arts. [editor summary]
Support and alignment : in search of balance : sensation, development and creation in equilibristrics : pedagogical guide"It is on the basis of field observations and concrete pedagogical issues that several texts are suggested to deepen, explain or question the notions linked with balance, while giving the floor to those who have animated or participated in the training. While this book is not meant to describe the exercises involved in these practice times, their observation has made it possible to draw threads and to propose different tools that can be transferred to the pedagogical practices of each one. The two main parts of the manual are: building balance and developing a connection with balance. More than methods that impose rules or protocols, these sensitive approaches allow, at a given moment, to formalise the practices and to spread them. For all that, they go far beyond speech and writing and find their full realisation only when the body is in motion. "
The manual makes it possible to formalise the practices of the professionals of today and to disseminate them. The proposals are transferable from one apparatus to another and from one practice to another and allow to start a transversal reflection on aerial skills or, more generally, on the way in which the circus arts are constantly facing, the stakes and difficulties of vertical work, weight and gravity.

S'appuyer, s'aligner : à la recherche de l'équilibre : sensations, contructions et inventions dans les disciplines du main à main, des équilibres sur les mains et du fil : manuel pédagogique« C’est à partir de constats de terrain et de problématiques pédagogiques concrètes que sont proposés plusieurs textes pour approfondir, expliciter ou questionner les notions liées à l’équilibre, tout en donnant la parole à celles et ceux qui ont animé ou participé à la formation. Si cet ouvrage n'a pas vocation à décrire les exercices mis en jeu aux cours de ces temps de pratique, leur observation a permis de tirer des fils et de proposer différents outils transférables aux pratiques pédagogiques de chacun. Les deux grandes parties du manuel sont : la construction de l'équilibre et le développement d'une relation à l'équilibre. Plus que des méthodes qui imposeraient des règles ou des protocoles, ces approches sensibles permettent, un moment donné, de formaliser les pratiques et de les transmettre. Pour autant, elles vont bien au-delà de la parole et de l’écrit et ne trouvent leur pleine réalisation que dans la mise en jeu du corps. »
Le manuel permet de formaliser les pratiques des professionnels d’aujourd’hui et de les transmettre. Les propositions sont transférables d’un agrès à l’autre et d’une pratique à l’autre et permettent d’amorcer une réflexion transversale sur les compétences en équilibre. [résumé de l'éditeur]
I am a body of landf poetry is a place to question, I Am a Body of Land by Shannon Webb-Campbell is an attempt to explore a relationship to poetic responsibility and accountability, and frame poetry as a form of re-visioning. Here Webb-Campbell revisits the text of her earlier work Who Took My Sister? to examine her self, her place and her own poetic strategies. These poems are efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undoo harm. Reconsidering individual poems and letters, Webb-Campbell's confessional writing circles back, and challenges what it means to ask questions of her own settler-Indigenous identity, belonging, and attempts to cry out for community, and call in with love.

Continuing training for circus arts teachers : planning, facilitating and evaluating"This publication was born out of the FEDEC's desire to equip school directors and pedagogical directors with a tool enabling them to provide their teachers an offer of training and professional development in line with the evolutions of the profession of circus arts teacher in a professional circus school and adaptable to its local, national or international context.
The first part of this guide recalls the context and the reasons for its creation: it gives keys of understanding the stakes related to this guide and specify who the main recipients of this tool are. The second part defines the educational foundations of the INTENTS training sessions, which are real experiments of training environments. They are designed to serve as reference for the training courses to come. Finally, the third part introduces the proposals regarding the planning, the facilitating and evaluation of training schemes. These proposals deal with the two main categories of training set up ("intra" formations, within schools, on the one hand, and "inter" formations, bringing together teachers from different schools, on a regional, national or international level, on the other hand)."
