With 29 years of experience teaching circus in the Canberra region, Warehouse Circus is one of Australia’s finest youth circus organisations. We make our programs friendly and accessible for all people of all ages, catering to a wide range of skill levels, from those who have never done circus before to those who have quite a lot of circus experience. We respect diversity in our programs and provide assistance to young people with additional needs to ensure everybody can participate to the best of their ability in classes. We foster a co-operative environment rather than a competitive one and aim to give everyone an opportunity to learn fun skills they can show off with. We have a very low student/teacher ratio which allows each student constant support and supervision whilst learning a wide range of interesting and exciting circus skills.
Our Core Program is a great place to start, consisting of weekly general circus class which runs alongside the school term. We offer various entry level classes for all ages as well as recreational classes for adults, no prior skill or athletic ability required. A great way to learn all about circus in a fun, inclusive and non-competitive environment and begin your journey as a well-rounded circus performer.
As a participant of the Core Program aged 8 -17 years, there are opportunities to perform as part of our mid-year show and end of year show. You might also be invited to participate in one of our troupes where you can work harder on specific skills and performance techniques that interest you. As you progress as a performer and decide circus is really your thing, you might be invited to join the Warehouse Circus Performance Troupe which performs regularly at events and festivals and in Warehouse Circus’s annual theatre production!
If you already know a bit about circus, you might want to check out our Specialty Classes and Intensives, some of which are open to new enrolments and some of which are designed as an add-on to the Core Program (invitation only, application processes may apply).
Want to kick start your circus experience or top up your skills when you have the time? Why not enrol in a Warehouse Circus School Holiday Program? Our School Holiday Programs provide a full week of training for ages 8 -17, and at times, we offer half day programs for our Half Highs aged 5 – 7.
We also have an increasing number of School and Community Programs which can run in our space in Chifley, or we can come to you! If you are a school or community group interested in having us deliver a circus program, please follow the link for more information or submit a Program Enquiry.
