Benjamin Richter
Outside Eye
Benjamin Richter is a pioneering contemporary circus artist who has been working at the intersection of juggling, dance and performance art for over 30 years. During this time, he has developed a unique artistic voice through his somatic and object-oriented practices.
In order to facilitate a consciousness of the inherent expressive possibilities of circus actions, he has spent many years deconstructing and reinterpreting both his own disciplines, and those of the countless other circus projects that he has supported as a teacher, artistic advisor, choreographer and mentor.
As well as designing, leading and teaching BA, MA and freestanding courses at the Stockholm University of the Arts since 2003, Benjamin continues to create and perform his own object-oriented circus works, both as a soloist and in various collaborations with the Bauhaus Dessau foundation, Atemzug Cologne, and the Czech association for Choreographic Development.
Benjamin performs his solo piece "TAKTiL" in museums, galleries and other unusual performance venues. He is currently collaborating with circus dramaturge Jenny Patschovsky on a new object oriented performance called "Rapt".

F.S.BLUMM
musician
F.S.BLUMM makes ‘music that somehow seems to talk to its instruments so that they come out of themselves.’ (de:bug).
The result is small optimistic-musical gold pieces that inspire with simplicity but without triviality. As a trained classical guitarist, he prefers acoustic instruments, but is also recognised in the field of electronic music. He brings closeness and intimacy not only to his music, but also to the stage. F.S.BLUMM writes music, paints pictures, gives concerts and plays records. He produces for films, exhibitions, sound installations, radio plays, podcasts and circus projects.
Of his numerous releases, his four albums as a duo with Nils Frahm have become particularly well known.

Lily Schlinker
Lily Schlinker (1999) is een performer en beeldend kunstenaar uit Berlijn. Ze studeerde hedendaags circus in Rotterdam (NL) aan Codarts, waar ze zich specialiseerde in partneracrobatiek en partneringdans. Als fotografe in het circusveld is Lily op zoek naar verschillende vormen om circus op papier te zetten, creatieprocessen te documenteren en het huidige begrip van circus als puur uitvoerende kunstvorm uit te breiden. Ze is redacteur en fotograaf van het tadaa Magazine en layouter voor het Handstandpress Magazine. Kaleiding is haar debuutvoorstelling, waarin ze optreedt in het duo Lily&Janick. Momenteel werkt Lily aan haar eerste solopublicatie, waarin ze de relatie tussen performing bodies en stedelijke architectuur onderzoekt.
