Circus Oz welcomes the establishment of the new Circus Centre Melbourne
Circus Oz is excited by yesterday’s announcement that the Flying Fruit Fly Circus will be establishing Circus Centre Melbourne at 50 Perry Street, Collingwood. Circus Centre Melbourne will ensure the future of the Perry Street building as a vibrant creative epicentre for circus in Australia.
Circus Oz applauds the significant impact that the Fruit Flies have had on the development of circus nationally and internationally. Over the years there has been a great exchange of people, knowledge, skills and resources between our two organisations. As an ongoing resident of 50 Perry Street, we are looking forward to welcoming the Fruit Flies as they take over the management of the building.
Circus as an artform has broad appeal to diverse audiences. It is wonderful for the circus community and the people of Victoria that this purpose-built circus building will continue to operate as a training and creation space.
Circus Oz is enthusiastic about the future possibilities that Circus Centre Melbourne offers and looks forward to being part of a great future for our artform.
