Dear Circus Enthusiasts,

🤸 The first week of our July holiday program is nearly over, and we’ve been having a blast in Half Highs, Kick Ups and Next Step! Circus is one of the best ways to keep warm and active over the Canberra winter.
🎪 You don’t have to miss out on the circus holiday fun! There are limited spaces left in Half Highs (ages 5-7) and Kick Ups (ages 8-12) for Week 2 of the holidays!
Adults - don’t forget to enrol in the Adult Specialty session on this Thursday, 17th July!
🤹Adult Specialty Holiday Sessions
Come along to our Thursday evening class during the holidays – the perfect opportunity to try something new or bring a friend with single class enrolments! Learn teeterboard, aerials, tumbling, juggling and more!

🎂 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 2011!
Warehouse goes on tour again for the first time in 16 years. A great show directed by Jane Schofield and Mark Lavis, featuring Performance Troupers old and new.
The Christchurch earthquake destroys the CircoArts school in New Zealand (that Skye Morton once attended), scattering students and alumni. Many students finish their course at NICA in Melbourne. As a silver lining, Warehouse Circus is fortunate to receive new trainers Dan Gunthorpe and Max Delves.
Our partnership with UC High School Kaleen begins, returning Warehouse to teaching classes in the Northside. Our new trainers Dan and Max are instrumental in establishing the new space.
Highwire takes The Bally to Adelaide Fringe, beginning a relationship with new hub Gluttony. Shows include Pitch and El Bella’s Late Night Variety Assortment and include alumni Tom Davis, Elena Kirschbaum, Jane Schofield and Sam Floyd. It is the first known time Warehouse alumni have performed at Adelaide Fringe.
Warehouse Circus Alumni are a continued presence at the festival to this day.
