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 🥹🎪💖
