Community Education
Circus Solarus is committed to community engagement and celebration of local stories. We also work alongside local and state government authorities to create projects aimed at changing community attitudes to issues such as waste management, healthy living and public transport.
Community Safety
Circus Solarus‘ characters have walked the streets from Marrickville to Willoughby, promoting all manner of issues, from pedestrian and driveway safety to responsible cigarette butt disposal. The response we receive from the public is overwhelmingly positive.
In 2011 we began the Shared Pathways project with the City of Sydney creating safety awareness performances along Shared bike and pedestrian pathways - this involves working closely with the project officers to develop performances that interpret their safety messages to the public.
Environmental
Our Fashion of the Future characters are popular at local festivals, roaming through the crowd wearing costumes made almost entirely from recycled materials. The latest act in this range is the Eco Samurai, based on Japanese street fashion designs, these quirky characters sweep all environmental problems away with their outfits made from an eclectic mix of re-used materials. Our Environmental Assessors are mad climate scientists assessing the carbon footprint of all and sundry, encouraging environmental awareness in the home.
Local and state government
In January 2009, Parramatta Council commissioned Circus Solarus to create comic tour guides to travel on the free loop bus in the CBD, encouraging the use of public transport and promoting the historical features of the area.
Get Connected is an interactive quiz show created for Housing NSW. It brings community service organisations together with public housing tenants to break down barriers and provide practical advice on community services.
Activities for young people
Interactive workshops using recycled and recyclable materials, provide children with a fun experience while reinforcing concepts of sustainability, recycling and protecting the environment.
