Circulation is one of Aotearoa's best-kept secrets: a music, workshop and circus performance festival just 20 minutes drive from Dunedin at the incredible Whare Flat/ Waiora Scout Camp.

Join us in a celebration of circus, community and freedom. Everywhere you turn is an opportunity to get inspired, learn, and hone your skills. Circulation has a strong community focus and boasts a child friendly environment.

Our workshops cater from beginners through to intermediate and advanced. Try your hand at circus, object manipulations, fire and flow arts, dance, yoga, cabaret, busking, music, spoken word, and many more. If the dozens of scheduled workshops each day don’t spark your curiosity then keep your eyes peeled for spontaneous renegade workshops, skills shares, and jams from our generous community. Each night is a riot of live music and performances.

Circulation opens with a gala showcase featuring some of Aotearoa's top circus talent, and closes with our incredible, unpredictable, and internationally infamous renegade show. Between the two you’ll find a kaleidoscope of live performance. DJs, aerialists, jugglers, fire spinners, acrobats, live music and countless surprises populate each evening.

The fire spinning circle is also open every night and anyone (after attending a fire safety briefing) is welcome to have a burn.
