Why choose circus?

New circus is an evolved art form and a social movement. Most people will recognise the exemplars, Cirque Du Soleil and CircusOz, which integrate compelling professional arts practice with innovative social development. We know that New Circus changes lives, builds communities, creates jobs and stimulates economies.

New circus melds athleticism, visual poetry and everyday people. Through New Circus, Cirkidz offers opportunities for individual development, goal-setting, engagement, creativity, imagination, trust, fitness, athleticism and performance art, and for building resilience and self esteem.
