Flipside’s team of trainers includes some of the best circus trainers and artists in Australia. All of them are dedicated to the development of circus as an art form and an educational tool for developing young people for a better future. We teach the core skills needed to develop strong and intelligent circus artists as well as the fundamental skills young people need to develop as strong and thoughtful human beings.

Our core values are inspired by Australian Youth Circus Legend, Dr Reg Bolton. Dr Bolton based his thesis “Why Circus Works” on what he described as the six essential elements necessary for a child’s development: to show off, to take risks, to trust, to dream and aspire, to work hard and to laugh.

Flipside Circus trainers each bring their unique skills and experience as performers and a wealth of knowledge and understanding of how to work with young people. We pride ourselves on our inclusiveness, flexibility, and commitment to making circus a great experience for all. We are adaptable and always looking for new program pathways and developing the training curriculum to meet the needs of our students.
