Sparkle Society is an independent arts company founded by two long-term collaborators, Ambrose Kelso and Latonya Wigginton. Operating since 2018 Sparkle Society has produced numerous works, touring to every state in Australia (except Tasmania- we’ll cross the Bass Straight someday!).
Sparkle Society was founded on the pillars of representation for LGBTQIA+ artists and stories, arts access for all Australians and building pathways for emerging artists.
