What We Do
Sylph Circus is a vibrant youth circus based in Maleny on the Queensland Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We aim to empower young people through the performing arts by offering training and creating productions that are visually rich and thought provoking.

How We Create
Performance Art
We create and perform circus theatre and physical theatre to express our ideas and tell stories.
Physical Theatre
We explore the body’s movement as a medium for storytelling and for the expression of ideas.
Circus Theatre
Our circus acts are woven together by a narrative, often in collaboration with musicians.
Aerial Acts
We express stories, ideas and emotions through aerial dance performed on circus aerial apparatus such as silks, lyra, teardrop and static trapeze.
