"In Common is contemporary circus at its most ambitious – intellectually rich, visually stunning and emotionally resonant. One Fell Swoop Circus has created a work that reminds us that resilience is never an individual act, but something built together, strand by strand."

Thank you Australian Arts Review for watching In Common at Frankston Arts Centre this weekend and writing such a beautiful piece about our work.

Rohan Shearn takes a look at One Fell Swoop Circus and their performance of In Common - which was recently presented at the Frankston Arts Centre as part of the 2026 South Side Festival.

In Common is coming to Frankston Arts Center this Saturday
1pm & 7:30pm
