ARTISTIC PROGRAM
EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CIRCUSFlipside Circus’ artistic program includes professional performances by, for, and with children and young people, as well as touring programs and residencies.
Circus thrives on collaboration, experimentation, and risk taking. It’s the perfect vehicle to blur the lines between participation, collaboration, creating, and presentation, and to tell unique Australian stories.
Flipside is committed to creating performances that amplify young people’s diverse voices, and push circus practice to celebrate these stories.
“An ambitious company that aims to make work that confronts big issues”
“A little slice of home-grown circus magic”
