| Summary |
"Filmed in 2008, this behind-the-scenes observational style series shows the company in development and rehearsals for a landmark tour called the '30th Birthday Bash'. What started out as a bunch of acrobatic renegades in the 1970s has today grown into one of the most successful performing arts companies in Australia. Housed in an old post office depot in Port Melbourne, Circus Oz actively seeks out renegade acrobats to work for the company. Skill, showmanship and diversity are the names of the game, along with gender equality and a committed social justice program. The company has decided to mark the occasion of its 30th birthday with new additions to the cast, revamped acrobatic acts and a radical new show."-- ABC website |
