WA Exposé

Robyn Glowacki is a versatile circus artist with a mixed bag of tricks to draw from. From a young age they were drawn to the stage, acrobatics and performing, practicing disciplines including ballet, gymnastics, diving and theatre.

After dabbling as an aerialist, they found hand-balancing and fell in love with the way being upside down made all the bad feelings fall out. In their spare time they can still be found jumping from heights into pools, throwing too many things in the air to catch, or twirling shiny things round their body.

After seeing their first burlesque show in 2015 Bobbie Apples was intrigued by the notion of women being both funny and sexy all at once. It was another year before they took their routines from their bedroom and onto the stage with the help of Tiffy Longstockings and Sugarblue Burlesque.

With a background in dance starting from age 5 (and the classic amount of dance trauma to go along with it) these classes quickly resulted in titles. With our guest winning Miss Congeniality at Sugarblue in 2018. Apprentease Winner 2019

And Burlesque Idol Adelaide Runner Up 2020.
