What We Do
NICA provides professional training through a three-year Bachelor of Circus Arts, preparing students from across Australia and around the world for exciting careers in all facets of the circus industry. Based at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, NICA is the only training institution of its kind in Australia.
Our students graduate with awe-inspiring circus and performance skills and are equipped to work nationally and internationally.
