Our Founders

Rachel Peters and Andy Long founded Roundabout Circus Incorporated in January 2017 as the first Not for Profit Central Coast Community Circus.

 

Rachel and Andy were inspired by their international projects with Performers Without Borders (PWB) to bring Social Circus to their home in Australia. Andy has toured India twice with PWB, and together, they toured Nicaragua, working with street kids and disadvantaged youth to empower them through circus arts. After three months on tour, Rachel and Andy sat under a Palapa in a Circus training centre, “Casa de las Botellitas” or House of Little Bottles Palapa, and brainstormed about their future community circus. The idea of Roundabout Circus was born.

We chose a Roundabout because it symbolises the different things that draw us towards the circus. People are attracted to it for various reasons, be it fitness, fun, therapy, community, the risk, challenge, or performance aspects. Regardless of what captivates your interest and the path you are taking, the Circus brings you to a central point, teaching you fundamental lessons and providing you with a community and direction for where you are going. This is the essence of Roundabout Circus. Whoever you are and wherever you are going, you are welcome with us.

Roundabout Circus flip, juggle, and fly on and above Aboriginal land, and we give respect to their elders past and present. We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and play, and we extend those respects to all First Nations peoples on whose land we travel and perform.

Always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
