Calling All Women of Circus!

The role of women in circus is a subject that is very important to me. So you can imagine how pumped I was to learn of the Gynoïdes Project. What is the Gynoïdes Project? It is a project about the role of women in circus, as well as the representation of women in circus. So if you're a female circus performer or circus director, I kindly invite you to fill out the following questionnaire.


The goal of this survey is to understand how female circus artists experience the representation of women in circus. The study is being conducted by Marie-Andrée Robitaille, circus artistic director and senior lecturer at the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, Sweden.

Thanks for your contribution!

  2. You're very welcome!

    I had almost completed filling out the survey when my computer crashed. When I had a moment to start over, I received a message saying that responses were no longer being taken!

    Seeing as I missed out on the first round, I would be happy to participate in any further research! And feel free to send updates, I'm happy to pass them along on the site :)
