⏰ One Week Left to Fundraise!
The Hands Across Canberra Appeal ends on 20th March!
Dear Circus Enthusiasts,
Did you catch us at the Canberra Day Carnival at Cockington Green? We had so much fun sharing circus skills and raising money for our Save-A-Seat program - a huge shoutout to our emerging artist Jade for organising the event, and to Estella, Clare and Charlotte for running workshops on the day!
The event raised $820.70 towards our Canberra Day Appeal, the majority of which will be matched by Hands Across Canberra.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far to our Save-A-Seat fundraiser through Hands Across Canberra! 💜
⏰ Time is running out if you haven’t donated yet - the Canberra Day Appeal ends on Thursday 20th March. All donations over $2.00 are tax deductible!
The more funds we raise, the more families facing financial hardship or other barriers to inclusion will receive a ticket to attend Canberra Circus Festival big top family circus shows. 👨👩👧
Tickets for the Big Top show are $40.

🎂 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 1994!
Warehouse Circus is run by Kylie O’Keeffe, Skye Morton, Karen Yaldren, and Belinda Cullen. Jeremy Davies and Paul O’Keeffe join in mid-1994.
Canberra Youth Circus is featured on the front cover of the 94 White Pages.
Canberra Youth Circus can no longer afford the rent at the Belconnen Community Centre, so moves to ‘The Warehouse’ Youth centre next door, and takes on the name Warehouse Circus! To save money, the trainers work as volunteers.
A troupe of Warehousers heads down to the National Fruit Fly Training Project. The trainers and participants get a grounding in a whole new skill set, and some great teaching techniques.
The big show that year was School’s Out! Warehouse Circus’s second tour! Followed closely by School’s Out! (Winter Edition).
Debbie Pradela trains and tours with The Wenatchee Youth Circus in the USA.
Plus some bonus photos below, sent in by Kim Smith, who was a member of Warehouse between 1992-1995! Thanks for sharing these with us, Kim!
