Martika will dazzle crowds in the morning with her Circus Variety Show, and outdoors with her Fire Arts Show in the afternoon. Join us for one or both!
The morning performance will be first-come, first-serve - wrist bands will be handed out one hour prior to the performance.
Internationally renowned and motivationally captivating, Martika and her one woman show hail from Kansas City, MO. Raised in a military family, Martika grew comfortable constantly moving about the globe from a young age. This exposure to international performers sparked her interest in the circus arts, and at the age of 8 she ignited her passion for the performing arts through training in jazz dance and classical ballet. Her passion for dance flourished when she discovered hula hooping. Constantly looking to push herself, in 2008 Martika sought out the best teachers to further her knowledge in fire arts, escapology, and sideshow stunts. Since then she has been featured on numerous news outlets such as Lawrence Business Magazine, KCUR,FOX4 KC, and the top international wellness corporation, Wanderlust.
