About Waterways
A new First Nations-led circus project in partnership with Flipside trainer and Indigenous Arts Leader/Producer, Lara Croydon.
It is a multi-year project that is developing an ensemble of young First Nations artists bringing them together to train and develop circus skills, and build towards a performance outcome.
Waterways is about the importance of water to First Nations people – it will interrogate its significance, its life force, and its journey to connect all our nations together through the spiderweb of freshwater and saltwater streams.
2022–2023
First stage research and development, building connections, and workshops.
INTERESTED IN PERFORMANCE AND CIRCUS?
We're looking for some deadly young Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people between the ages of 10-25 who are keen to develop circus skills and tell stories on stage. You don't need to have any previous circus experience to apply, we will teach you that on the way.
