Australian Calisthenics Theatre Company
Dance, gymnastics, ballet and theatre – brought together on Australia’s biggest stages.
What is Calisthenics?
Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian sport that blends elements of dance, gymnastics, ballet, and theatrical performance, creating a dynamic and artistic expression of strength, flexibility, and teamwork. Rooted in Australian culture for over a century, it fosters discipline and creativity in performers of all ages.
The Australian Calisthenics Theatre Company (ACTC) is at the forefront of innovation in this beautiful sport, pushing the boundaries of traditional calisthenics by incorporating commercial performance opportunities, professional training, and diverse artistic styles. ACTC’s commitment to elevating calisthenics to new creative heights not only showcases the rich heritage of the sport but also introduces it to a broader audience, ensuring its growth and evolution for future generations.
