The creative team at World of WearableArt is seeking submissions from experienced circus artists and specialty acts for the 2026 WOW Show season. Performers need to have a strong skill set, vibrant stage presence and the ability to perform as a character if required.

We are encouraging submissions from all nationalities and genders. We are searching for performers who have a strong work ethic and who are open to the variety of acts that WOW shows involve. Collaboration is paramount as all performers work closely with the Show Director and Aerial Coach & Choreographer.

2026 show rehearsals for circus artists and specialty acts begin mid-August and the season runs until Sunday 4 October. Performers must be available full-time within this date range. The rehearsals and show season are in Wellington City / Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

Being part of the WOW Show is a memorable experience – our cast and crew return year after year to reconnect and hit the stage again. In addition to performing you will get to work alongside like-minded individuals and a large team of creative practitioners who are passionate and who work hard each year to create a memorable and unique event for the show audiences.
