National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) presents the new show for its graduating student showcase 2022, Made To Measure. Met-gala-meet-circus as our graduating students walk the tight wire between real and ridiculous.
With a red carpet greeting, the show begins the minute audiences enter the building. Followed by fashion-fuelled buffoonery and outrageous skills on aerial ring, roue cyr, handstands, trapeze, bounce juggling, corde lisse, Chinese pole and hula hoops - all set to stun. Emceed by the infamous Valarie Hex (YUMMY) and curated by NICA’s Creative Team, this 12-strong cohort of disruptors are the circus industry’s newest ones to watch.
Having worked closely with Artistic Consultants Katie Cawthorne, Kyall Shanks, Jess Love and Jess McCrindle, NICA’s graduating circus artists have sharpened their industry-ready acts. NICA’s Head of Circus, James Brown (2015 – Present) and the creative team have also been pushing the student’s ideas on what the future of circus can be, and experimenting with live-feed cameras and projections within their acts.
James said: “Circus borrows all the best bits from dance, music and multimedia. We are always discovering where circus and technology intersect. These artists are walking those edges." Fun, dazzling and downright audacious. Made To Measure will leave audiences sparkling with awe.
The National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) is Australia’s Centre of Excellence for training in contemporary circus arts. It is one of eight national arts training institutes and offers Australia’s only Bachelor of Circus Arts. Graduates of NICA have gone on to pursue exciting careers both locally and internationally and have contributed to the development of Melbourne’s vibrant circus arts industry.

An intimate and powerfully authentic solo show that mingles theatre, clowning, music and circus. ★★★★1⁄2 “Smart, funny and wise” The Age
★★★★ “Raw and engaging” The Advertiser. “Stunning physical skills that mesmerise” Theatre People
A day in a woman’s life is played out non-sequentially as she navigates the challenges of parenting, relationships, show business, visible ageing, and the unrealistic expectations she places on herself and others. This solo work combines circus, movement, text and sound in a darkly humorous, irreverent and personal insight into one person’s daily experiences and the chaos that ensues from some questionable life choices.
A 45-min wild ride of unexpected twists and turns! Event warnings: This event has some nudity, strong coarse language, sudden loud noises, some infrequent/low pressure audience interaction, potentially triggering content or themes, including Domestic Violence, Violence Against Women.

NICA Performs presents CIRCONOCLASM taking place Wednesday 14 – Saturday 17 September at NICA National Circus Centre (NNCC Building). Directed by David Woods, CIRCONOCLASM has been devised with NICA 2nd year students. Iconoclasm (the theft or wilful damage of artworks) is an age-old practice that continues to serve as a powerful modus operadni for those wanting to capture the world’s attention in a moment of meaningful cultural defiance.
To this very day, iconoclasm remains a provocative act that brings issues of the day into sharp focus – so what does that mean for the future of modern circus? Enter CIRCONOCLASM: An art-heist inspired by the infamous NGV Picasso theft by the “Australian Cultural Terrorists” and every heist movie ever... Directed by David Woods (Ridiculusmus Theatre Company, London) and devised by the students, the curtain opens as Seurat’s triptych of pointillist paintings on circus are gathered for the first time in a big splash for the National Australia Gallery. Though armed with a veritable fortress of high-tech security, the paintings are stolen in a daring heist during the swanky opening party. We encourage you to expect the unexpected with hoop diving, tightwire and teeterboards entangled in the unfolding drama of the ultimate circus art-heist.
“My expectation is that the students will gleefully play within the constructs I have imagined with a degree of democracy and ownership,” says Director David Woods. “Though ultimately, I maintain final artistic decisions, the autonomy rests with each artist, allowing myself and the senior creative team to provide an overarching aesthetic and performance grammar for this next generation of cirque talent.” NICA’s Head of Circus, James Brown (2016 – Present), encourages audiences to shake off the dust by returning to live performance.
“We have all had a challenging few years, and what better than to escape to the theatre to witness Australia’s up and coming circus talent. These students have the pleasure of working with International Director, David Woods, and his unique character and comedy approach to Circus is not to be missed.” CIRCONOCLASM promises to be immersive, hilarious, and admirable.
The National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) is Australia’s Centre of Excellence for training in contemporary circus arts. It is one of eight national arts training institutes and offers Australia’s only Bachelor of Circus Arts. Graduates of NICA have gone on to pursue exciting careers both locally and internationally and have contributed to the development of Melbourne’s vibrant circus arts industry.
