💜💜💜 It's Wear It Purple Day!! 💜💜💜 Today we are wearing purple to show up for LGBTQIA+ youth. Wear It Purple's central mission is all about creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments for queer youth, allowing them to thrive and survive. This mission is so important to Women's Circus and so aligned with our own values and the kind of space we aim to create here at the Drill Hall.

Looking around the world and here at home, it's a scary time for the LGBTQIA+ community. Rainbow young people feel this acutely, in such an already challenging time of their lives. As our children, youth, and future we need to do everything we can to protect them and allow them to live authentically - safe and happy.

As a proudly queer organisation with a long history of standing up for LGBTQIA+ rights, queer and questioning kids and teens will always be welcome here. Women's Circus is a place they can be themselves, meet other young people who perhaps share their experience, and learn from LGBTQIA+ role models that accept them exactly how they want to be that day.

PROTECT QUEER YOUTH! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜

📣 ATTENTION MEMBERS! Sheryl and Robyn want YOU

📣 ATTENTION MEMBERS! Sheryl and Robyn want YOU to perform in the next Scratch Night!!

We're having another informal, in house performance night at the Drill Hall on 14 September, and we need more performers! Open to our members and those of a marginalised gender from our open training program, we'd love to see some more people put their hands up to hit the stage with their wild and wacky ideas. Even if you just have the start of an idea you'd like to try out, or a fully formed act you'd like to practice, the invitation is for everything!

‼️ EOIs close Monday 5pm!! Head to the link in our bio to read the info pack and send in your EOI.

And if you're not interested in performing, save the date 14 September 5pm for a cosy night in at Women's Circus! (Cheap) tickets will go on sale next week, and all funds raised support our end of year Member Cabaret. Please note this event is for marginalised genders only.

We can't wait!

📣🎪🎭 Member Cabaret 2025 EOIs are open now

📣🎪🎭 Member Cabaret 2025 EOIs are open now! This December our iconic Member Cabaret is back, and if you’re a Women’s Circus member, you can be involved! Whether it’s performing on stage or volunteering behind the scenes, we want to hear from you.

This year’s show is directed once again by Malia Walsh with Assistant Director Katy Burrows, who both brought us the hilariously wonderful Braver than a Bear last year.

Please read the info sheet linked in our bio for all the details on how to be part of the Cabaret, including important dates, the time commitment, the theme and more. You do not need to have performed before! This is an open invitation to all our members to dive in and give it a go. To perform, you must be enrolled in a Term 4 class and be a Women’s Circus Member.

📅 Expressions of Interest close Tuesday 9 September, midnight
🙋‍♀️ We will have an info session with Malia and Katy on Sunday 7 September, 1:30pm-3pm to answer any questions you may have and talk more in detail about the Cabaret process.

🎟🎪 The show dates are 11-14 December 2025 (put it in your diary!)

It’s such a fun process to be a part of, so if you’ve ever thought about putting your circus skills onstage, fill out an EOI! Even if you’re not sure of an idea, we will help guide and support you throughout the process.
