We wanted to show you the spirit of community conn

We wanted to show you the spirit of community connection within Women’s Circus, so it was a no brainer to ask the Wednesday Night acro class 🤩 This class is a wonderfully connected group that truly represents the diverse membership of Women’s Circus, and embodies the ethos of everything we do here.

This End of Financial Year, we’re raising $25,000 to keep our programs running - social and creative programs that empower people of marginalised genders to discover their strength, reclaim their bodies, and build powerful community through circus. We cannot do this work alone - we need your support!

Donate before 30 June to help us reach our goal and you’ll create meaningful, positive impact for someone who experiences marginalisation. And don’t forget all donations over $2 are tax deductible! 🤩

Your support means everything to us! 💕 To make a donation, head to the link in our bio.

Thank you for lifting us up — and for helping us lift others 🥹🎪💖

Mid-Term Circus Play (6–12yrs) - Spooky Circus themed! 👻🎪

Ghosts, ghouls, and giggles await! Coming up on Friday 13 June we have another mid-term opportunity to try a circus class.

Spooky themed for Friday 13th, kids will tumble, climb, and swing their way through an action-packed afternoon—no prior experience needed!

This session is great for our current students who'd like an extra fun circus session, and those completely new to Women's Circus who'd like to try a circus class before enrolling in a term.

📅 Dates: Friday 13 June
⏰ Time: 4:00pm – 5:15pm
💲 Price: $22
We encourage kids to dress up to the theme!

Book in on the Short Courses page of our website ❤
