Access & Support

Pathways into an inclusive circus community

Women’s Circus acknowledges the many barriers to participation people face. We strive to find inclusive and responsive options for each individual’s access needs. 

We celebrate the physical and imaginative potential of the human body and nurtures self-awareness and self-esteem.

Our Drill Hall home is fully wheelchair accessible, and Trainers with basic level Auslan skills are available.

To discuss your access requirements and find the right training pathway for you contact our Training Manager.

All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who identify as women, trans and non binary can access our training programs and membership free of charge. To discuss your enrolment please contact our Training Manager.

“The accessibility of the Women’s Circus facilities and the expert support and ingenuity of the trainer enables me to take more risks and forge new connections between my body and brain.”
