Artists, Producers, & Agents : Submit a Project

Pitch sessions are an important element of the MICC Annual Market each July, but online pitch sessions and coffee hours are now taking place on a more frequent basis throughout the year, often with a specific theme or focus.

UPCOMING SESSIONS:

March 25 & 26: RICA contemporary circus pitch sessions - African companies

April 7: Working group on presenting circus in the US: US companies

Artists and companies may always submit projects on a rolling basis via our platform (see link below). Ad hoc selection committees evaluate projects, and the MICC team notifies selected artists, in preparation for each session.

UPCOMING DEADLINES:

March 12 - African Contemporary Circus

March 26 - Contemporary Circus from the United States

Only MICC members may submit a project, but there is no additional fee to submit or pitch.
