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 do 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.

Join the New Women’s Program

There are no prerequisites to take part in the program and for the last few years, all women on the “waiting list” have joined the training program.
