Shows

2006 Show “A Plane Without Wings is a Rocket”Over its 16 year history, Women’s Circus public performances at festivals, forums and venues have proven to be our strongest communicative device.

The Women’s Circus creative process extends from physical and technical skills acquisition, to research and storytelling, oral histories and/or personal reflection through to performance-making workshops, rehearsal, performance and evaluation. This process extends past the presentation of tricks into an integrated physical narrative. It is a unique process of translating material, experiences and themes into physical representation, one that the Women’s Circus is renowned for and has successfully achieved with themes of reconciliation (The Soles of Our feet, 1999) sexual abuse (Secrets, 2001), and women’s circus history in Australia (A Plane Without Wings is a Rocket, 2006).

2008 SHOWS

In 2008 the Women’s Circus will present two community productions-Off The Wall (29th June) and Revolution (21st September). These productions provide an opportunity for women to perform for the first time and to provide leadership and directing opportunities to our long time members and trainers - Sara Pheasant, Staja Hobsbawn and Bianca Sciaretta.

“In 100 Years” (working title) will be a public performance (24-29th November) to be featured as part of Victoria’s Centenary Celebration of the non-indigeanous women’s vote in this State.
