    During your time at Legs, you will have three days in our famous Red Box with access to simple aerial rigging, and two days in our upstairs studio (confusingly also called Studio One) with single-point rigging.

  • Legs On The Wall is a leading Sydney-based physical theatre company known for creating gravity-defying aerial spectacles, site-specific works, and impactful performances over a 40+ year history.

    Studio1 is a multifunctional rehearsal space and creative hub supporting the day-to-day practice and on-going development of artists in Brisbane.

  • We are seeking a Sydney-based physical theatre, dance, circus, or performing artist with an established practice interested in developing new work. This is not a first-stage R&D opportunity, and would best suit work that has already had initial development and is looking to progress.
