For more than 25 years, it has brought its self-crafted performances of wit, grace, spectacle, satire and finely-honed stupidity to audiences in over 150 cities and towns, in 23 countries across five continents, from 42nd Street, New York City to remote Aboriginal communities in Arnhem Land, from London’s Royal Festival Hall to a glass opera house in the Brazilian rainforest.

Circus Oz combines an eclectic mix of original live music, social comment and popular theatre with spectacular circus skills and daring stunts.

The multi-talented ensemble shares the limelight in an exuberant celebration swinging precariously between the sublime and the ridiculous.

Based in Port Melbourne, Circus Oz projects an unmistakably Australian voice at home and abroad. The company’s iconic curly-topped Big Top, designed by co-founding clown Tim Coldwell, graces the heart of Melbourne each year for its hometown season in riverside park, Birrarung Marr.

While the Circus is on the road, it maintains a popular year-round program of circus skills classes for adults and children at Port Melbourne, as well as its High Flying Teams, an innovative team development and leadership program.

"This is a different circus from any other of my knowledge… You will be amused, amazed, and generally shook up." Clive Barnes, New York Post
