Circus is currently hot news.
As the National Circus Festival (NCF) returns to Mullumbimby next week with a four-day training program (26 -29 September) followed by a three-day Festival from 30 September to 2 October, and then productions like Girls with Altitude (Flying Fruit Fly Circus), Humans 2.0 (Circa), Interloper, and MATADOR la experiencia – to name just a few circus productions raising the profile of the artform with stellar reviews – it is not surprising funding bodies are finally acknowledging circus with a financial boost.
