Red Hot Condition

Company Afterclap is a Stockholm based contemporary circus company founded in 2019 by two Finnish circus artists Nelli Kujansivu and Aaron Hakala. They met in Stockholm when they became classmates in the renowned Stockholm University of the Arts´ Circus Program, from which they graduated as Bachelors of Fine Arts in Circus in 2016.

They have since worked with contemporary circus companies such as Cirkus Cirkör, Cirque du Soleil, Galapiat Cirque and Circus Monti. After many years of touring the world separately they decided to combine their forces and so Company Afterclap was born.

Face First was formed from the desire of it’s hard working members to establish a space for themselves to create freely and fly on their own. The name evokes the risk that define their lives as circus artists. It also speaks to their wish to highlight the personality of the body on stage, using the art of acrobatics as a path to authenticity.

After years of working in their own field, the members of Face First are adding a new voice to the circus field by producing their own touring productions and customized events.

Only Bones v.1.6

Marina Cherry is of a breed that is hard to define. Like many humans, she is a layered multitude of bits and pieces. A contortionist/acro-dancer by formal training, she was educated at École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels following the start of her professional circus training at École Nationale de Cirque in Montreal.

Originally from Montana in the US, Marina spent her childhood immersed in gymnastics, dance, painting and orchestral music, before discovering the world of circus. Finding her singular niche somewhere deep in the pockets between contemporary circus and dance, her creations place research, innovation and a questioning of convention at their core.

Primarily a solo artist, she also enjoys collaborations and is working in diverse projects around Europe including the upcoming production by Belgian company Petri Dish. Marina also works as a pedagogue and on her travels loves giving workshops in movement research, acro-dance and handstands. She is simultaneously pursuing a degree in philosophy (online) at the University of London.

Korus

During the summer of 2018 four circus artists set sail in the Swedish archipelago. By the time they came back to shore, the dream of Below Zero had come to life. KORUS is the upcoming production from Below Zero.

The title, the Swedish word for “collective voice”, touches on the theme. KORUS is a piece that probes the idea of what it really means to come together.

Joel Degerfeldt and Mikkel Hobitz, friends from the circus school AFUK, found they had a lot of things in common. They both have an interest in the physical disciplines of hand-to-hand and acrobatics. They both play string instruments. They even look alike: long, thin, and blond. This was where the idea for the show came from. With a dream of magic, acrobatics and music they would make circus history.
