🎂 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 1997!
Snazwah – Warehouse Circus gets their first ever funding to stage a major work. The result is Snazwah! A live circus and music extravaganza that featured Magicians, High-flying circus, and a flying fox entrance for a unicycler right over the audience’s head. They’d never let us do that again…
Paul O’Keeffe and Jeremy Davies tour internationally with Wake Baby – Company Skylark’s renowned puppetry work.
Paul, Kylie and Jeremy form Kronik – a spectacular circus company that set a tone that many, many future circus companies followed. With Noah Marley and guest artists, they blend Circus, Dance, Skating and Hip Hop shows in amazing works. While not formally our first group of emerging artists, certainly our first artistic group to emerge from Warehouse!
They also start a circus creative hub with Noah Marley, and Canberra musician Joe Ferguson in Fitzroy, Melbourne, which would later evolve to become Blue Circus Studios- the incubator and rehearsal space for dozens of the country’s biggest circus shows.
Acrobaticomatical appeared at the Belconnen Community Theatre at the end of ‘97, featuring the next generation of A-Troupers in their first ever theatre show.
