Check out the first episode of "Shoulder to Shoulder, Sweat & Joy: The Gravity & Other Myths Story"!

GOM are the perfect storm of talent, team and timing, an extraordinary privilege to get a glimpse into the phenomenon through Hamish’s eye and camera. They epitomise the gumption, resourcefulness and bravura so intrinsic to our art form.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

🎪 We're proud to see a photo from our 2022 Adelaide Fringe production Ropeable featured in the South Australian Government's announcement of the 2026 Adelaide Fringe Impact Report.

As anyone who's been part of Fringe knows, its impact reaches beyond the numbers. Our Artistic Director, Josh H***e, said it best: "Fringe is part of the DNA of the inspiring artists graduating from SA Circus Centre. We also feel the broader impact that is more than a dollar figure and we feel it every year. Congratulations to Marc, Tara and the whole Fringe team."

The numbers are in🥁

With more than 6 million attendees, $25 million in box office revenue and over 1 million tickets sold, the 2026 Adelaide Fringe Impact Report reveals how the festival benefits South Australia.

Just moments before our Greatest Gala officially began, Puddle Jumpers CEO Melanie Tate and COO Bailee Phillips had the chance to grab a photo with the incredible performers from Cirkidz.

From the moment they stepped onto the stage, the Cirkidz team captivated our guests with their energy, talent, skill and professionalism. Their performance set the perfect tone for an evening filled with hope, celebration and community.

A huge thank you to every performer, coach and supporter who helped bring such a spectacular performance to life. Watching these young people shine on stage was a powerful reminder of what can happen when children and young people are given opportunities to grow, learn and believe in themselves.

Thank you, Cirkidz, for helping make our 2026 Greatest Gala so memorable. You were absolutely amazing! 🎪✨❤️

Why are our Artist Development Program students all linked up like this? Nothing grows solo, so we grew a Communi-tree! 🌱

We wanted to support our ADP students to feel safe and courageous, ambitious and connected. Communi-tree is our answer for peer support and mentoring in the ADP Program.

It is a social support structure with leadership circle in the middle. This group of senior artists then begins branches of support out to the newest members of the program. Think of it like school sport houses but with a wellbeing focus ☺️

Thanks Russell for hopping up on a Lyra to take the photo.
