Circa presents a bold new vision of circus. A blending of bodies, light, sound and new media. A place where acrobats and movement meld into a seamless whole. A celebration of the expressive possibilities of the human body at its extreme. A repertoire that has been rapturously received by children, young people and grown-ups alike.

Circa is internationally recognised as one of Australia’s most innovative contemporary circus. Its work combines exceptional circus skills with movement, light, sound and projection to create experiences that critics hail as being ‘stunning’, ‘electrically charged’, ‘5 stars’ and ‘the limits to which circus can aspire’. Circa has a core ensemble of multi-talented circus performers and its tour-ready productions have been seen in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australasia. In 2008 Circa’s highlights included performing at the Iberoamericano Theatre Festival in Bogota and opening both the Galway Arts Festival and Noorderzon.
