What is it?
The Budapest Aerial Meeting, a biannual event where aerialists of all skill levels come together from Hungary and beyond to forge connections and build a thriving community. This event serves as a platform for aerialists to meet, exchange ideas, and discuss their craft, while also offering opportunities for teaching and performance. Let's unite our passion for aerial arts and create a network that spans borders, enriching both our local community and the broader European aerial scene.
Why?
Hungary has a very rich history of circus arts with a resident traditional circus in the centre of Budapest, a national circus school as well as many circus and aerial training spaces for professionals and hobbyists. However, a sense of community is lacking. Most European countries have annual aerial meetings and festivals which provides aerial artists with a sense of community and an opportunity to learn and artistically and skilfully evolve. This event is designed to build a network and engage aerialists from across Hungary and Europe to have a similar platform.
