CIRCUS AVALON
Circus Avalon was established in Tasmania by John Campbell about 25 years ago. Since then it has changed from a performing adult community group to a training circus for both adults and youth.
Currently based in Newcastle( for over 12 years now), Circus Avalon has brought the unique art and skills of the circus to the lives of thousands of students, both young and old.
Avalon Trainers have taught in over 100 different schools, attended events including the Woodford Festival, the National Folk Festival, the National Circus Festival and many smaller events.
