National Institute of Circus Arts Auditions

The National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA), Australia’s premier circus arts training organisation, is on the search for our country’s next circus stars with their audition roadshow travelling to Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra and their own Melbourne backyard across September and October.

As the only national arts training institute to offer a Bachelor of Circus Arts, positions at NICA are highly sought after and attract Australia’s most talented, physically gifted and creative young performers. NICA graduates have joined nationally and internationally acclaimed companies including Cirque du Soleil, Dragone (China), Cavalia (Canada), NoFit State Circus (United Kingdom) alongside Australia’s Circa, Circus Oz and Carnival Australia, to name a few.

Entry into the three-year Bachelor of Circus Arts degree is by audition, interview and successful completion of a medical assessment. Applicants must apply to audition.

Audition Applications open 2 July and close 2 September. Applicants are required to apply via the NICA website. Audition times will be advised to applicants as part of the application process.
