Question and answer
Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.
A. I mostly perform nightclubs, bars, private parties, big events, festivals, weddings, birthdays, etc. But I perform any and all events!
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. When hiring a fire performer it is extremely important that you find someone who is very safe, insured to perform with fire, uses the proper fuels and fuel containment systems, and brings a fire safety with them. Safety is the most important aspect of this type of work.
In addition, you want to find someone who is proficient in several tools, has good performing habits, is aware of their surroundings at all times, and communicates with their safety.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. Are you insured?
How much space do you need?
Do you have a safety?
Do you carry a fire extinguisher and fire-retardant blanket?
What type of fuels do you use?
What do you keep the fuel in and do I need to provide a safe place for it?
Do you have a selection of costumes I can choose from?
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I stand out from others who perform with fire because I perform more tools than most people you will find. But that isn't mainly why I stand out. I am an amazing dancer WITH the fire. I not only manipulate the many different fire tools I use, but I also move my body just as well. Almost as if the fire was an extension of my own body. I have a very theatrical performance style and really accentuate my movements, steps, leaps, etc. Most of all, I move to the music. It doesn't matter if I have heard a song a million times or its the first time I am hearing it. I connect with music on a higher level than most people. Every movement of my body and every movement of the fire is ON beat. When the songs slows or speeds up, as do I. It is as if I am part of the music, the music moves me, and I move the fire all in one.
I also stand out because I am extremely safe. I have my own performing insurance. I ALWAYS bring a professional fire safety with me to help setup my tools, light my equipment, aid in crowd control, protect the double bucket fueling system, standby with a fire blanket just in case, and anything safety related.
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. Of course! I am always learning new moves and tools and I am even creating my own tools. I attend a fire performing retreat several times a year called WildFire where I teach some classes and take classes on many different things. I am always looking to learn!
Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.
A. Well I am in the middle of a few projects right now. The first is a set of Fire Wings that I am building. I am a welder, fabricator, and blacksmith so I design a lot of my own stuff.
I am also making a latex mermaid tail for my underwater performances as well. For this project I am creating the design out of clay, making a mold of it with plaster, and casting it in latex. I am also creating my own fiberglass monofin specifically for the tail as well.
In all, I am always making something and coming up with new ideas!
Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?
A. I would advise that they find a trained professional and learn from them from the ground up, starting with safety. The most dangerous aspect of someone wanting to learn the art of fire dancing is that they try to do it themselves. They learn from youtube, have no idea what fuels to use, don't know about fueling systems or fire blankets and safeties, and in general, are careless. These people are the ones that risk everything for us professionals. They make one big mistake and hurt someone and we all look bad.
