WHERE TO LEARN
If you are a school student or teacher, best thing to do is convince your school to get a circus skills teacher out for some workshops. That way, you can start up your own circus group at school! A good starting point for W.A schools is Suitcase Circus. They are specialists in Circus-In-Education and know their stuff!
Suitcase Circus, the original circus-in-education program. This unique program offers inspiring shows, workshops & performing arts / physical education courses.
Fremantle, W.A (General circus skills, acrobatics and aerial skills for children and adults)
Bentley and North Perth, W.A (General circus skills, acrobatics and aerial skills for children and adults) CLOWNING / PHYSICAL THEATRE
The Annie Stainer School of Physical Theatre Where else can you ride a one wheel bicycle, sing an aria, stand on your head, swing on a trapeze, wear a red nose, beat on a drum, recite Shakespeare, tap dance on a table, juggle plates AND learn to relax?

Fremantle Street Arts Festival Every Easter, the streets of Fremantle are filled with over 100,000 eager punters who come to marvel and wonder at the annual WA Buskers Festival (known officially as the Fremantle Street Arts Festival – apparently ‘Buskers’ is a dirty word!) World class acts from around the world (France, Japan, America, England to name just a few) A very inspiring festival! Stay tuned to the City of Fremantle website for details.
This amazing Australian dynasty have been performing for over 150 years and across 7 generations. Nothing compares to the magic of traditional circus. This family never cease to amaze and inspire. We have been blessed to have Joseph Ashton and his wonderful, hard-working family (plus ponies, dogs, ducks and geese), making WA their home over the past few years. If you haven’t seen their show, get down there and see it! If you have, go and see it again! For touring schedule see www.circusjosephashton.com.au
