The Circus Oz Living Archive brings the glory, mishap, splendour and ridicule of our history back to the living now. It is made more valuable by your input, your peculiar memories, your experience as either a performer or an audience member. We have designed the site so you can, will, or possibly can’t resist adding your story to ours. However, we ask you do so in a spirit of respect for those living, past, still performing, or just watching, ensuring we uphold the principal of equality and a fair go for all.
