Circus Oz / Artistic overview
Circus Oz was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1978. The company's 31st year marks over three successful decades of international touring, as well as its place in the hearts of generations of Australians. The principles that were the heart of the original Circus Oz philosophy are still reflected in their performances today: collective ownership and creation, gender equity, a uniquely Australian signature and teamwork.

They have broken box office records at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and represented Australia at scores of international festivals. Central to the Circus Oz philosophy of tolerance, diversity and human kindness is its engagement in issues associated with social justice, including work with charities, indigenous communities and refugees and asylum seekers.
