Emily Buttle

Hello, I am the founder & artistic Director of Empress Stiltdance — a world-class stilt performance company bringing colour, elegance and visual flair to events worldwide. For over three decades I have created & presented stilt-dance acts, shows, bespoke costumes and props to festivals, luxury malls, tourism destinations and cultural celebrations across 25+ countries. My work blends dance, costume design and appealing visual concepts to create roving performances that transform public spaces into living works of art. We have up to x 30 highly skilled, elegant performers available for mega & touring projects.

EMPRESS Stiltdance specialises in providing:
🌸 Floral & fantasy stilt roving entertainment
✨ Bespoke costume & character design
🦋 Seasonal entertainment programmes
🌺 Large-scale installations & aerial act concepts
🌿 Soft, feminine & nature-inspired creative direction

I love events, especially large-scale, family events. EMPRESS brings sweet moments of joy, wonder and connection to kids, and the big-kids that live inside every adult. I enjoy collaborating with event programmers, creative directors and popular venues who aim to bring unique, human moments of joy to all the people who attend. I give thanks and respect to all we have had the honour to dance & work with. I also deeply cherish every event we have been fortunate enough to dance at.

With Love & Joy!~
Emily
