Flip Art Circus and Physical Theatre Festival

Come and see Warehouse performing at Canberra's NEWEST circus event! We'll be introducing international circus events, as well as our own home grown talent. See us at various venues around town from 12 to 14 March 2010.

Aerials Coming Soon....

Warehouse Circus has secured funding for a new Aerials rig! That's right, after five years absence, trapeze, tissu and Spanish web are coming back to Warehouse Circus! We will have aerials up and running by Term 4 this year, so now is the time to start working on your core strength if you want to train aerials.

Warehouse would like to thank Steve Goodman, former President of Warehouse Circus and the Chief Minister Jon Stanhope for making this project possible.

This project is supported by the ACT Government.

Our New Home!

All classes are now conducted at our new home, the Warehouse Circus Centre, which is part of the new Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (the former Melrose Primary School)located on the corner of Eggleston Crescent and Maclaurin Crescent Chifley - a number 23 or 24 bus will get you there from Woden on weekdays.

Have you met "The Dude"???

Yes, "The Dude" is Warehouse Circus' very own mascot! He (or is it she.... you'll have to decide!) graces all of our mail, our newsletter, banners, brochures and hides in the most unexpected places. You can see The Dude juggling, on the trapeze, pulling a rabbit out of a hat or doing a bunch of other crazy, funky things. Canberra's latest craze is "The Dude" badge - have you got yours yet? Created by our talented volunteer graphic artist, Berto, The Dude is taking Warehouse Circus into the 21st century, and pops up in the most unexpected places - he even welcomed local pollies to the opening of Floriade last year! Keep your eye out for "The Dude" on a collar near you!
