OUR CORE BELIEFS
REPRESENTATION FOR LGBTQIA+ ARTISTS
Founded by two proud members of the queer community, LGBTQIA+ representation is one of the corer values of Sparkle Society. This can be seen in the casting choices we make, the language we use and the stories we tell on stage. We believe strongly that anyone should be able to be their best sparkly self and our entertainers will never look cookie-cutter made!
ARTS ACCESS
At Sparkle Society we are passionate about Arts Access in multiple ways:
– Providing services and accommodations so people living with a disability are able to fully participate
– Creating specific workshop programs that enable elderly people to try circus
– Bringing live art to people living in Regional and Remote areas
– Removing financial barriers to arts participation through subsidised or free workshops and performances
SUPPORTING ARTISTS
We work closely with youth circus organisations in Brisbane to provide mentorships to young emerging artists as they begin their professional carers. We help to build pathways for creating a successful arts practice.
We advocate strongly for fair wages for artists and our fees always cover the costs of artist wages, super and insurance.
