Circability

"The kaupapa of Circability is to improve lives and impact social change through innovation in the delivery of social circus arts.

A primary focus of our work is developing inclusion programmes for people with disabilities - and enhancing creative career employment options for all.

For 10 years our vision 'All ages, all abilities, all cultures, better together.’ has strengthened our commitment and guided Circability’s growth and innovation. We have gained recognition through Arts Access Aotearoa's Creative Space Excellence and Partnership Awards - Delivering classes, workshops and community events for all ages and abilities, utilising social circus as a tool for developing personal confidence, physical & emotional literacy, well-being, connecting people and sharing joy.

Our emphasis is on the collaborative process to create safe spaces for inclusive social circus arts practice to flourish in diverse communities. We are exploring and collaborating with Toi Matauranga Maori arts practitioners and instigating culturally inclusive and tailored social circus programmes and 'Kanohi Kitea' wananga with our partners.
