Welcome to Circability

Igniting social circus throughout Aotearoa

Ngā reanga katoa, ngā āheinga katoa, ngā ahurea katoa - amui katoa
All ages, all abilities, all cultures - better together.


Founded in 2012, Circability’s circus arts programmes are for anyone, with outcomes and testimonials that back our work.

Circability offers a number of classes, workshops, holiday programmes and corporate packages in all of our locations, tailored to your needs.

Circability’s fun-filled events are for everyone: a cross section of disability, culture and ages, including Kanohi Kitea, Celebrate Together and our leading event, Youth Circus Festival.

What is social circus?

Social circus is a unique form of circus arts that combines the physical skills of the circus with the social and emotional benefits of community engagement, helping develop important life skills such as self-confidence, communication, teamwork, and perseverance.

Our Locations

Circability’s hubs in Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Christchurch each have their own focus, working with rural schools, aged care, homeless, refugee or migrant populations. They also provide workshops and classes for anyone including kindergarten, schools, disability service providers, community organisations, businesses, and in public spaces and parks.
