Roundabout Circus

Roundabout Circus is a Social Enterprise Community Circus based on the Central Coast NSW. We love inspiring and sharing circus skills with people of all ages and abilities and our philosophy is "Nothing is Impossible in the Circus". We want to help you make the impossible your reality.

Our Mission is "To unlock personal and creative potential and deliver social inclusion through circus arts. We aim to empower our community to believe in themselves, to collaborate and to work hard to achieve their goals."

Roundabout Circus Incorporated was founded by Rachel Peters and Andy Long in January 2017 as the first Not for Profit Central Coast Community Circus.

Rachel and Andy were inspired by their international projects with Performers Without Borders (PWB) to bring Social Circus to their home in Australia. Andy has toured India twice with PWB and together they toured Nicaragua working with street kids and disadvantaged youth to empower them through circus arts. After 3 months on tour Rachel and Andy sat under a Palapa in a Circus training centre “Casa de las Botellitas” or House of Little Bottles Palapa and brainstormed about their future community circus. The idea of Roundabout Circus was born.

We chose a Roundabout because it symbolises the different things that draw us towards the circus. People are attracted to it for various reasons, be it fitness, fun, therapy, community, the risk, challenge or performance aspects. Regardless of what captivates your interest and the path you are taking, the Circus brings you to a central point, teaching you fundamental lessons and provides you with a community and direction for where you are going. This is the essence of Roundabout Circus. Whoever you are and wherever you are going, you are welcome with us.
