At this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Australian circus companies such as Casus, Briefs, Gravity and Other Myths, and 3 is a Crowd won plaudits and praise from critics and peers alike for the quality and originality of their work. The Daily Mail heralded the arrival of ‘The new Wizards of Oz!’ in a recent article about contemporary Australian circus, while in her review of Casus’ Knee High, respected Guardian critic Lyn Gardner waxed lyrical about a show ‘full of extraordinary skill and brute strength … but also exquisite beauty’.
