The ISACS Network are delighted to continue its partnership with Wexford Arts Centre to bring you back LIFT – one of our artist development programmes. This residency offers mentoring and creation space for duo ground-based circus artists via an open-call residency. LIFT is supported by County Wexford Arts Department, Wexford County Council and Arts Council Ireland.
LIFT aims to provide space, support, expertise and room for circus artists to develop their practice. The selected artists for this 2025 edition are Ken Fanning and Tina Segner, Co-Founders of Tumble Circus.
The artists will be provided with rehearsal space at Wexford Arts Centre, receive dedicated mentoring from a professional circus artist, and benefit from ongoing support and guidance from the ISACS Network.
