Together with Vulcana Circus, inner-city venue Cyber Bunker will host a 12-week social circus program for LGBTQIASB+ young people in Brisbane. Located close to major public transport, Cyber Bunker is an LGBTQIASB+ affirming community space that already operates as a trusted third space for young people who often feel unsafe or excluded in mainstream sport and fitness environments.
Queer and trans youth are up to half as likely to participate in sport as their peers, and they experience depression and anxiety at up to ten times the rate of the general population. The barriers are both interpersonal and structural: poor body image, fear of harassment, discriminatory policies, and exclusionary facilities mean mainstream activities can be unwelcoming and inaccessible.
By creating low-pressure, easy-entry movement sessions within a space that already feels safe, we remove several barriers at once. Participants can begin at their own level and build confidence gradually.
Led by Vulcana's experienced youth trainers, this will be a project centring joy, safety and connection for all participants.
