Gasworks Circus Showcase

Gasworks Circus Showcase (formerly Showdown) is an unparalleled professional development opportunity for circus and physical theatre artists. Adored by audiences since 2012, this display of immense skill is made possible by the daring and talent of independent Australian artists. Four acts shortlisted by an industry panel perform 15-minute excerpts of new works-in-development, and development awards will help them take their works to new heights. The Gasworks Circus Showcase 2024 finalists are: Act One. Dawn/Dusk (Nexus Entertainment): Dawn/Dusk is full of the spectacular acrobatics and honest storytelling that the Australian contemporary circus is known for. Act Two. The Conversation (The Discourse Collective): Come watch, as siblings James and Ellen Bartlett converse in depth about their upbringing, shared experiences, and adult lives. Act Three. Resonance (Three Silly Geese): Resonance is an exploration of the relationship between artist, musician and audience. Act Four. Circtango (Marco Paoletti and roya the destroya): Tango meets circus and Australia meets Argentina. Accompanied by their double bassist, circus performers Marco Paoletti and roya the destroya blend circus and tango with live music.
