Can you believe it? This year Women’s Circus tur

Can you believe it? This year Women’s Circus turned 30! To celebrate this momentous birthday we’re digging deep into our archives over the next three weeks, sharing highlights of our history with photos, videos and reflections from some of our beloved community members.

November is particularly momentous as it marks the premiere of our first show Women and Institutions performed at our original home, Footscray Community Arts Centre (now @footscrayarts) all the way back in 1991.

Lucky for us, the performance was captured on film and we are thrilled to premiere it online with you after many years in our vaults along with an interview with founding member Annie Fayzdaughter about her time in the show.

Head to our bio to read the interview and watch the full show.

Slide ID 2: a short video snapshot of Women and Institutions from 1991. Performers do acrobalance, aerials, whip cracking, tumbling and bike balancing.

Slide ID 3: a group of around 100 Women's Circus founding members sit and stand on the steps of the old Footscray Community Arts in 1991. They are all smiling and looking cool.
