NICA: The Joys of Circus
 

NICA’s entire purpose-built campus will be featured in this year's Open House Melbourne program. Across two days, the building will be open to curious minds and lovers of architecture. ⁠


Guests will have a limited group tour of the bespoke facilities, guided by NICA's circus trainers, who understand its functionality and glory better than anyone. Learn about the building's history and architecture, how the facility is utilised daily, and how building design and world-class circus arts go hand-in-hand. ⁠

Following the tour, visitors can test out the facilities in a guided circus workshop. ⁠
There will be two workshops to choose from for our adult participants - Tumbling and Trampoline or an Assorted Aerials workshop, using the world-class equipment to get a taste of the real experience. ⁠For kids, there will be a Family Acrobatics workshop, in which children will learn pyramids and partner balances with their guardians. ⁠

Booking fee for both the tour AND a workshop included is just $7. ⁠

Friday 24 July
5pm-6.45pm AND 6.15pm-8pm

Saturday 25 July
1pm-2.45pm AND 2.15pm-4pm

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
  • Waitress the Musical
    Waitress the Musical
    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
