Circa Contemporary Circus
"The mighty Circa” (Lyn Gardner, The Guardian)
Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the world's leading performance companies. Since 2004, from our base in Brisbane, Australia, we have toured the world - performing in 40+ countries to over 1.5 million people. Our works have been greeted with standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out houses across six continents.
Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus - pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances. We continue to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus, and leading the way with a diverse range of thrilling creations that 'redraw the limits to which circus can aspire" (The Age).
Under the direction of circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, Circa features an ensemble of exceptional, multi-skilled circus artists. We are a regular fixture at leading festivals and venues in New York, London, Berlin and Montreal with seasons at Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Barbican Centre, Les Nuits de Fourvière, Chamäleon Theatre as well as major Australian Festivals.

We are committed to fostering the next generation of circus artists and run Circa Academy classes in our studio in Brisbane. Circa also runs regular circus programs with communities throughout Queensland and around Australia.
As a champion of live performance, we were the Creative Lead for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games arts and cultural program.
