The association Verein Contemporary Circus in Österreich (VCCÖ) is a non-profit association with the statutory purpose of promoting contemporary circus in Austria, elevating circus as its own form of art.
Georg Daxner, the founder of the Winterfest Salzburg festival, had the idea of establishing the first circus school in Austria. To this end, he and his wife Evelyn founded the association Verein Circusschulen in Österreich (VCSÖ) in 2010. In 2022, it developed into the association Verein Contemporary Circus in Österreich (VCCÖ).
The VCCÖ has set a series of mission goals:
In 2018, the VCSÖ / VCCÖ opened the first CircusTrainingCenter (CTC) in Salzburg in a 4-mast circus tent, in which courses, training, and space for professional circus artists are offered. The VCCÖ wants to promote high standards for the training and further education of circus artists and the exchange with other initiatives nationally and internationally. In the CTC there are many kinds of courses offered by a wide variety of artists and associations. We are currently elaborating the future vision of a University education.
