NICA’s Certificate IV in Circus Arts introduces aspiring circus artists to elite level circus training.

This is a highly disciplined and structured program with a great deal of scope for creativity.

Core foundation training includes strength and conditioning, flexibility, acrobatics and handstands. Throughout the year, students focus on their own area of specialisation and develop communication, trust and performance skills through group and partner work. A major ensemble circus performance is staged at the end of the year. 

Academic study modules include anatomy and physiology, business studies and circus history.
