Whether you’re a lifelong circus fan or just love a show that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Shape Up is your chance to see South Australia’s best young acrobats before they take the world by storm.
Premiering at Gluttony, Adelaide Fringe 2025, this high-energy spectacle features precision group acrobatics, gravity-defying aerials, breathtaking teeterboard tricks, and plenty more.
Featuring the rising stars of the SA Circus Centre’s Performance Troupe (ages 12–18), Shape Up transforms raw strength and skill into breathtaking human shapes before your eyes.
Triangles teeter on the edge of falling, circles spin with hypnotic rhythm, and arrows cut through the air with fearless speed. This isn’t your regular circus show, it’s also an exploration of how the forms around us influence our emotions, challenge our perceptions, and shape the way we move through the world.
