🎂 Warehouse Circus - Celebrating 35 Years
Each week, we will be sharing a small piece of Warehouse Circus history to celebrate our 35th birthday!
This week we’re looking back at 1993!
David Jacquier takes over running the circus in 1993, with Karen Yaldren, Belinda Cullen and Kylie O’Keeffe as assistant trainers.
Yos Worth was employed by the Arts Council to run the Youth Circus Extravaganza. The project runs for three weeks in January and lots of Canberra Youth Circus kids participate. It ends in a tent show called Strictly Circus, in Commonwealth Park on Australia Day! Lots of people, including Skye Morton, joined after participating in the extravaganza.
Shebbang!
Canberra Youth Circus partners with Canberra Youth Theatre for Shebbang, coincidentally kicking off a long-time tradition of giving theatre shows awesome names. First Warehouse theatre show to feature a three-high! Adrian Redman was a Knack Gnat, but joined Canberra Youth Circus after the show, later becoming one of our head trainers. We also formed a partnership with the 'Here Goes' circus in Moruya. A billeting arrangement was made so that their performers could be in the show, and ours could train with their circus.
Warehouse Circus tours beyond Canberra for the first time, performing in towns along the South East coast including Cooma, Tathra, Bermagui, Milton and Shell Harbour.
Warehouse Circus sends participants to the Fruit Fly National Training Project for the first time.
