Circus offers more than applause: it offers dignity and healing.
Through NICA’s Social Circus Outreach, we bring creativity, confidence and wellbeing to children, elders, and diverse communities who need it most.
Our Social Circus Outreach can extend beyond the lights and applause; it ventures into rural towns, remote Indigenous communities, aged-care centres, schools and neighbourhoods too often overlooked. Your gift brings circus into places where creativity, joy, and community are precious - and rare.
Research from University of South Australia shows that children participating in circus-skills programs report significant improvements in mental wellbeing. For every dollar invested in such a program, there is a social return of $7 in future mental-health savings: https://www.unisa.edu.au/unisanews/2019/may/story2/
Together, we aim to extend these benefits to those who need it most.
Give the gift of circus. Help us bring play, empowerment, belonging, and well-being to communities who need it most.

The National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) humbly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the traditional Custodians and knowledge-holders of the lands on which we create and, learn. We recognize that sovereignty has never been ceded, and we pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We extend our sincere acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, partners and visitors, who have contributed to NICA's success, diversity and growth.
