= Women's Circus = The Women's Circus, a feminist not for profit organisation, provides circus performance training and social arts projects for women in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Training programs focus on the physical and imaginative potential of the human body, self-awareness and self-esteem.

History
The circus began in 1991, as an initiative of the Footscray Community Arts Centre, offering training and performance projects. In 2006, the organisation moved to it's current location at the Drill Hall in West Footscray, and receives support by the Maribyrnong City Council.

Training
The circus offers a new women’s program for people who have no experience in circus training. Participants may learn a range of skills including hula-hooping, juggling, trapeze, swings, acro-balance (making pyramids), climbing and tumbling.
