About NICA Performs
From time to time, our building transforms to showcase the latest emerging talent of the circus industry. Sweeping away the crashmats and enveloping the seating bank in velveteen curtains, our beloved National Circus Centre converts into an immersive theatre space located just off Chapel Street, Prahran.
NICA routinely invites national and international directors to work alongside students to produce shows that are truly inspiring. Performances double as assessment pieces for our artists, who work on these projects with admirable dedication throughout the year.
FALL WITH ME
17 – 21 September
Directed by Katie Cawthorne
Connect with the hearts of the second-year ensemble on their debut show Fall With Me. Acts of teeterboard, hair hang, acrobatics and Chinese pole will test the limits of our trust in ourselves, and the people on whom we rely.
You're invited to drop the armour and let your emotions be seen as the students search for a world where we can feel safe to submit to our own heartbeat.
Content Warning: The show contains a hair hanging act, loud music, strobe lighting and smoke haze.
