The Westside Circus Community Program provides innovative and accessible circus programs to community organisations working with people of diverse ages (3-70 years), abilities, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Our one-off circus workshops provide new experiences, teambuilding, exciting challenges and fun. They are popular at local community events and festivals where they bring people together and add fun, colour and movement.

Westside Circus also works in partnership with community organisations to develop and deliver longer-term programs aimed at promoting physical health, emotional well being, social connectedness, positive childhood development and stronger relationships.

Past and current partners include the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency, YWCA, Victorian Aboriginal Health Service, Kingston City Council, Concern Australia, City of Brimbank, City of Casey, Darebin Community Health, City of Moreland, Melbourne City Mission, Lighthouse Foundation, City of Melbourne, Victorian Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders, City of Wyndham, Noahs Ark, Melbourne Legacy, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Frankston Arts Centre.

Westside Circus teaches a range of circus skills including juggling, hula hoop, devil sticks, diablo, human pyramids, plate spinning, tumbling, trapeze, tightwire, cloudswing, stiltwalking, clowning, slapstick, feather balancing, walking globe and rola bola. Programs of 8 sessions and over often culminate in a showing or performance.

Our circus trainers possess highly developed circus and group facilitation skills and a commitment to the organisational values of respect and inclusiveness.
