ACROBAT

ACROBAT have been pioneers in circus performance for nearly 20 years.The company was founded by Simon YATES and Jo LANCASTER in 1995. The first performances were in Sydney at the Bondi Pavilion Amphitheatre in 1996.

Since that time, the company has toured to major festivals and presenting houses in capital cities and regional circuits nationally, but the vast majority of their work has been outside Australia; in France, Germany, Croatia, Switzerland, Brazil, Austria, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, South Korea, Belgium, Lithuania, England, Scotland, Singapore, Ireland, Argentina and Canada.

Over time, ACROBAT has evolved, weathered and distilled, but the spiritual identity is still clearly distinctive – a dry, self-derisive and irreverent take on an art form that is now so often striving to be elevated to lofty class respectability.
