About Women’s Circus shows

Over its 18 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).
