New Women’s Program

Each January, the Women’s Circus has an intake of new members - called “New Women” - women of all ages, sizes, and levels of fitness who have “run away to join the circus”.

Participants in the New Women’s Program undertake a tailored program that introduces basic physical training and a range of circus arts. It ensures that new members feel welcome and safe, learn to work in a group, build trust with their own body and others, grow in physical confidence and strength, explore responsible risk-taking and understand the philosophy of a community circus.
