About Circus Monoxide
Circus Monoxide began in 1996 as a touring circus company that lived and performed out of a hazard-striped bus. In 2012 it settled in Wollongong, and it now runs a training and performance hub in a warehouse at Fairy Meadow. It is a not-for-profit organisation, and alongside its classes it hires out performers for festivals, weddings, corporate functions, school events and private celebrations. The act list covers most of what people picture when they think of a circus. Aerialists work on silks, trapeze and lyra, and an aerial rig can be set up at the venue. On the ground there are acrobats, jugglers, hula hoop artists with LED hoops for night events, and stilt walkers in costume. Roving performers mingle with guests at the entrance or through a crowd, which suits a wedding reception or a street-style party as much as a fete. For groups who would rather join in than watch, the circus drop zone sets out plate spinning, juggling, stilts and hoops with trainers coaching guests through each one, and the company supplies all of the gear. There is also an aerial drop zone, kids shows that combine juggling, acrobatics and comedy, and circus workshops aimed at corporate team days. Larger bookings can be shaped into a custom package mixing any of these acts to fit the space and the budget. Enquiries go through the booking form on the company's website, and acts are quoted to suit each event.
