The Australian Calisthenics Theatre Company (ACTC) is a pioneering performance company that blends the athletic artistry of calisthenics with professional theatre production. We provide elite calisthenics performers with opportunities to train, perform, and showcase their talents on commercial stages across Australia.

There are several ways to get involved with ACTC! You can audition for our Ensemble, audition for our Youth Performance Group, attend our workshops, sponsor our company, sponsor our cast or support us by attending performances. We also offer opportunities for coaches, volunteers, and corporate partnerships.

Auditions for our Ensemble are held at different times throughout the year. We accept video auditions as well as in-person auditions in select cities. Keep an eye on our website and social media for audition announcements.
