The future is now for the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA), as they welcome a new intake of acrobatic talent. The Bachelor of Circus Arts degree is the only one of its kind in Australia, attracting nation-wide talent.
The new students hail from circus, dance and gymnastics schools across Australia and New Zealand, standing on the solid training foundations from the Flying Fruit Fly Circus (NSW), Byron Bay Circus Arts (NSW), Women’s Circus (VIC), Warehouse Circus (ACT), The South Australian Circus Centre (SA), Just Acrobatics (QLD), Jolletes Gymnastics Mandurah (WA), Wellington Youth Circus (NZ), plus many more.
Punctuating NICA’s comeback story, the dates have just been released for some exciting projects and performances in 2025:
- 17 – 28 June: NICA’s Third Year Ensemble performance.
- Early September Auditions for the 2026 bachelor’s degree and Certificate IV intake.
- 8-10 October will see the return of the Australian Circus Summit ‘Out of Lines’, an unconventional conference addressing issues directly effecting the circus industry.
- 9 – 13 December: Third Year Showcase.
