The 2020 Dance and Circus Calendar

Physical feats and disciplined artistry unite the worlds of dance and circus, despite the many differences between the artforms.

In part two of our overview of the performing arts in 2020 we cast our eye over some of the dance, circus and physical theatre delights programmed across Australia in the coming months.

Please note that we cannot include everything, with some independent dance and circus companies yet to announce details of their 2020 seasons; similarly, we’ve tried to provide an overview of the many Fringe Festivals delights on offer rather than listing every single show. Rather than an exhaustive guide to the entire sector, consider this calendar a starting point for your own personal aesthetic investigations – we encourage you to look further, explore more deeply, and marvel at what you find.

Part one of our coverage, an overview of the year’s opera and classical music offerings, is already live, andin the next few days we’ll be concluding this series with a theatre and musical theatre calendar. Happy reading!
