School Holiday Workshops

Flipside Circus offers school holiday workshop courses every school holidays in Brisbane and South East Queensland. Workshops vary depending on age group and location.

Have a look at our different workshop programs below, then check our dates to see when the workshop is on.
Workshops will be held in the April, June/July, September/October and December/January school holidays. The skills taught in each workshop change from holiday to holiday...so no two sessions are the same!

Come and fly into the school holidays as Flipside teams up with Circus Arts Brisbane to bring Flying Trapeze to the 15 Tricks in 1 Day and 5 Day Circ-cation program*. For a fun and thrilling circus experience, the Flying Trapeze delivers! Operated by specialist teachers from Circus Arts Brisbane, your child can experience ‘flying’ in a safe and supportive environment.

*Flying Trapeze rotation offered in 15 Tricks in 1 Day and 5 Day Circ-ation workshops in Alderley only. Flipside Circus is not liable to refund or exchange workshop fees if Flying Trapeze rotation is cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions (eg. storms). In the event of unsafe weather an alternative indoor aerial activity will take its place. Unfortunately, due to logistical reasons Flying Trapeze is not included in the end of workshop performance. We apologise for this inconvenience.
