A first virtual event will take place from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. (EST) in French, followed by a second in English from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m (EST). The event's Artistic Director Krin Haglund will host in English and Alexandra Royer will be the MC for the French session. Don't miss the party of the week!

The next day, Tuesday, July 7, from 2 to 3 p.m. (EST), Nathalie Delorme, in collaboration with Aaron Marquise of the Contemporary Circus and Immersive Arts Center (Troy, New York), will report on the state of the circus in Canada and the United States. Julia Sanchez of CEDACIRC A. C. (Mexico), Stéphane Segreto-Aguilar from ARTCENA (France) and Sarah Bushra (Ethiopia) will also present a report on the state of the circus in Latin America, Europe and Africa.

En Piste will also be present during the presentation of the reports for Asia and Australia, given by Gwen Hsin-Yi Chang of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Taiwan) and Kate Malone of Cluster Arts (Australia), later in the evening from 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm (EST).  These international presentations are offered in partnership with Circus Talk.
