FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Touring and Residency Programs
Flipside works with communities to deliver community engagement programs and performances throughout Queensland. We have toured to over 100 communities in the last 6 years and worked with thousands of children and young people.
Our residencies are tailored to community’s needs and to work with young people aged 2-years up. We can provide workshops for different age groups, or tailor workshops to suit community’s needs.
"If the circus was here in town every week, I’d go every week."
