Women's Circus

Support Women's Circus Future


Women's Circus have spent 32 years creating and training circus in Melbourne’s West, empowering women and people of marginalised genders. We create impact that is memorable and enduring whether from a momentary encounter as an audience member or a lifetime of commitment through membership. Women's Circus is an internationally recognised leader in the field of social circus, and our innovative programs offer individuals and communities the opportunity to develop skills, confidence and creativity while fostering a sense of belonging and connection.  
 
The work we do creates real impact. In 2022 alone: 

  • We premiered a new large-scale site-specific work with our Inclusive Ensemble at Art Centre Melbourne.  
  • We collaborated with and supported 48 talented artists, fostering an environment that nurtures their artistic growth and expression.
  • We provided 44 hours of professional childcare, allowing artists and participants to fully engage in our programs without barriers.
  • We dedicated 850 hours of space, creating opportunities for artists to create, collaborate, and receive valuable support within our vibrant community.
  • A total of 730 individuals participated in our workshops and term programs, embracing the joy of circus while developing new skills and building confidence.

But we cannot keep the lights on, the doors open and our programs running without the support of our valued donors.

  • $2000 will cover our insurance for one month.
