The aim of Glitter Martini is to create productions that are innovative, engaging, and welcoming.
Each show is built to include the audience in the fun, as that real inclusivity is what separates and elevates live performance from other forms of entertainment. Our work is our opportunity to create a unique world that the audience can check in to when they arrive, leaving the real one behind, even for just an hour or so.
Darcie Rae - Director
I believe there is great value in work that is fun, inviting, and emotionally accessible. Art that does not try to be too serious can be a doorway for people into further arts experiences. Glitter Martini is not serious, but it is sincere, and I love creating work that brings genuine joy and connection.
I am passionate about creating high quality works of modern circus, combining displays of skill with artistry and purpose.
I want to create a feeling of connection for the audience with the cast and with all the other people in the room, and for the audience to walk away feeling that they experienced a show rather than just observing it. Each show also contains multiple audience driven elements. These participation sections are there for the audience to feel included and really part of the show, seen and heard by the cast on stage and by each other.
Most days you can find me wrapping myself up in my trapeze or quietly (and as a credit to my partner’s patience sometimes loudly) daydreaming.
