Welcome to Term 3! It's been lovely to see you all

Welcome to Term 3! It's been lovely to see you all at the Drill Hall this week ✨ The start of term is a great time to re-share our Gender Inclusion Policy as we welcome so many new faces into our wonderful space.

Women's Circus welcomes anyone who belongs to a marginalised gender, meaning people who identify with a gender that experiences misogyny and marginalisation under the patriarchy.

This means we welcome members and staff to our organisation who are:
✨ cisgender or transgender women
✨ transgender men
✨ non-binary people
✨ gender diverse people
✨ intersex people
✨ and anyone who is questioning their gender

You can read our full Gender Inclusion Policy linked in our bio 🌈

Can we get some love for this amazing design by our very own member Kailin Liu! 😍🙌 We will be selling t-shirts in week 1 of term (starting tomorrow!) at the beginning of classes. They are $35 each and come in kids sizes 4 & 6, youth sizes 8, 10 & 12, and adults sizes XS, SML, MED, LARGE, XL.

Kailin shared the story behind the design, have a read below ❤️

"“The first and most important lesson of juggling is to hold the ball in front of you, open your fingers as wide as you can…and let it drop.” - Sal, Juggling 101.

When Sal first mentioned this, I didn’t think of it more than a piece of self-encouragement for my possible future frustration while juggling. Yet when I started to do the three-ball cascade, like all beginners, I couldn’t help but throw the balls forward and I had to step ahead to catch them. In moments like this, Sal suggested, what might help is to simply drop that ball. Then follow the rhythm to drop the other two balls as well. While you are doing this, feel the rhythm of letting go and gradually you will find your own rhythm of juggling. What a paradoxically interesting piece of advice. As hard as it actually was (I just couldn’t let the balls go!), I was surprised that eventually I was able to juggle. And I wonder: Isn’t that life as well?

The next day at work, a colleague asked me, "How many balls can you juggle?"

"Three," I said.

"Oh, that's nothing, " he laughed, “my friend can juggle seven!"

I didn’t reply. Yet I know there is something way more important than the number of balls I can juggle.

In my design of this T-shirt, therefore, I would like to showcase these small yet significant moments of our collective experience in Women’s Circus – moments of fear, trust, joy, support, imbalance and letting go. These moments may often be overshadowed by a skill-based circus that focuses on strength and technical complexities, but they are so valuable to me as they make me feel 'human' again. I hope they mean something to you too." -Kailin Liu

Thank you Kailin, this design is not only super cute but super special to all of us at Women's Circus ❤️
