BTW Youth Troupe Behind the Wall is the performing arm of the Westside Circus youth class. It gives committed young people a chance to train up performance skills, create characters and acts and rehearse short performances. Throughout the year Behind the Wall perform short stage shows or roving characters for festivals and events around Melbourne. Sometimes guest artists are asked to come in and teach specialist skills, other times are spent rehearsing up acts. This program gives young people a chance to work with professional artists and perform regularly, honing their skills under the public eye.
Recent performances include:
Regular roving at Collingwood farmers market
In My Footsteps at Signal as part of Fringe 2009
Y-Happin Festival in Jeparit
Guildford Lane Art Gallery
Escape Hatch winning a highly commended in the Melbourne Fringe 2008
