This Master dissertation explores new connections between juggling and music. Both are art forms in which a person and one or more objects communicate or express themselves together on stage. Both, the performer and the objects are equally in focus.

These artists often experience an intense relationship with their objects and make them the centre of work, if not the centre of life.

Me, as a juggler, seeing musicians on stage or in circus shows, I have often wished for more attention for the object ‘musical instrument’  in addition to its capability to produce sound.

As a director, I now took the musical instrument as starting point with the aim to create an interdisciplinary performance. Seven musicians and one circus artist participated in several artistic experiments. Finally, a new performative format was developed and staged called Concertcircus.
