Vulcana Circus Details
Vulcana Circus was formed in 1995 in response to the need to create a safe, non-competitive space where women could feel free to explore their physical potential. That need continues to this day.Vulcana recognises that women have a different physical experience learning skills in a women only space. In this regard we endeavour to grow strong women and in doing so build strong communities.Our adult workshops and community projects are predominantly open to individuals who identify themselves as women, trans and non-binary genders. Our kids and teens workshops are open to mixed genders. We also offer some mixed gender adult workshops.Vulcana, a British strong woman after who our company is named, was an early feminist, and in particular an ardent member of the "sensible clothing movement", which lobbied against the wearing of corsets and other restrictive, dangerous clothing for women.Vulcana Circus is proud to take its name from this inspiring forebear of women's circus, to continue her passion for proving what women's bodies are capable of and to draw inspiration from her astonishing abilities.
