Art from Circusheart is a production hub and resource for the development of Circus. The artistic director and founder is Tilde Björfors. Tilde Björfors was the co-founder of the circus company Cirkus Cirkör, based in Stockholm Sweden, in 1995. After almost thirty years as its artistic director, she continues exploring the boundaries of Circus.
At the moment Art from Circusheart is one of the co-creators in Händel on Hands by balans-resonans.
balans-resonans is a groundbreaking dream project between a cellist, a tenor singer, a circus director, acrobats, violinists, a foot joggler, a balance act clown who loves to go in and out of balloons and swallow sharp things that are not good for him.
balans-resonans is an artist collective started on the initiative of cellist Mime Brinkmann, who has long carried a dream to be able to move like a circus performer when she plays. Together with the opera singer Thomas Volle and director Tilde Björfors, the three make up the artistic direction for the balance-resonance collective, whose purpose is to experiment and playfully develop what can arise in the meeting between the art forms of opera, music, circus, and visual arts.
