What are the criteria to register in the CircusLink Platform?

Be a professional artist, company or organization and fill all the informations required when creating a “Company” o “Programmer” profile inside the platform.

The CircusLink team will be reviewing each registration before publishing and will get in touch with you if there is some information missing.

By registering in the CircusLink each participant, company, or programmers, commits to the values of the project that are: respect for the diversity of artistic languages, for the artists and the artistic work in general, respect of the needs, desires, and challenges of each operator of the sector, equity in the treatment of the artists and collaborators beyond national, cultural or structural difference.

I am a Company, how often should I update my profile?
I am a Programmer, how do I know if a company’s profile is up to date?

As you may have seen on your Company or Programmer profile there is a mention
“last modif. the XX/XX/XXXX”
to let the other members of the community know how up to date is your profile.

In order to maximize the chances of creating professionals contacts through the platform we recommend you update your profile every month or two.

Is there or will there be a cost for the use of the CircusLink Platform?

For the moment the CircusLink platform is totally free, and we will be working to keep it this way as we are convinced that is the best way to support the work of companies and programmers.

Can I register as a solo artist?

Yes of course, if you tour as a solo artist (or a solo artist in collaboration with other artists) and can fill up all the information needed to create a profile in the CircusLink platform. When registering chose the option “Register as a company” and fill up with all your information.
