Funded through the ERASMUS+ program, COSMIC (CO-creating and Sharing digital Methodologies In Circus Education) is a project led by the French Federation of Circus Schools (FFEC) and the European Federation of Professional Circus Schools (FEDEC). In all, eleven partners were involved in COSMIC, including nine circus schools from seven different countries as well as associated partners. The project took place from September 2020 to December 2022. Its aim is to introduce European professional circus schools to the use of digital technology in order to offer innovative teaching methods. The starting point for COSMIC was to initiate a discussion to develop a new design of the “Student Artistic Booklet” using an open-source video annotation web application: MemoRekall. In return, the dialogue with the application design team needed to make it possible to develop new features that meet the needs of circus education. Indeed, although MemoRekall was designed for the performing arts, a co-design approach implemented throughout the COSMIC project has enabled it to evolve to take into account the specific characteristics of the circus, which is as much a performing art as it is a top-level sport. The purpose of this white paper is to review the different stages and challenges of the collaboration between the circus school teaching teams and students with MemoRekall’s research and development team. In particular, it presents the contents of the labs, the methodologies used, the technological choices made, and the implementation of different teaching scenarios. Publication available in English and French.
