Description YUCK Circus is a 7-strong crew of elite acrobatic gals, ready to flip off double-standards and kick art in the face. They’re not lightly throwing around women’s issues-they’re literally throwing women!

Let’s get into the grit of it: they’re coming for your ‘female standards’ and rough Aussie norms. Their award-winning Western Australian company of circus chicks are tackling the uncomfortable through dance, circus, and beaut comedic timing. YUCK is fun for the faint hearted, the strong willed and the everyday battler.

Further Information Performances included two five minute shows for the Gasworks Circus Showdown. This winning show was titled ‘YUCK’ and featured both NICA and outer industry cast. Originally YUCK was Georgia Deguara’s solo show but when a number of friends expressed interest in collaborating, it became a “super-group of beautiful female acrobats who kick art in the face.”
